Where to buy fabric haberdashery and wool Senegal

Maï Diop, creator of the Tësss brand, heads up this showroom workshop. You'll find locally produced fabrics in the Mandjak tradition, including loincloths, cushions, bags and table runners. Tësss aims to rediscover the forgotten motifs of traditional loincloths, still appreciated today. Maï Diop, with the help of her craftsmen, also creates made-to-measure fabrics for her customers. A stone's throw from the boutique is the weavers' workshop, where you can appreciate their delicate work on an imposing loom.

Located near the Massalikoul Djinane mosque, this is the fabric market of Dakar! All patterns, all styles, all origins are represented along these swarming alleys. Everyone has of course a sewing machine in the extension of the arm. Cotton, silk, synthetic, natural, make your choice, the couturiers will always make something out of it. In addition to fabric, you will find everyday products, jewellery, shoes, among other miscellaneous items. The market is very lively at weekends, beware of pickpockets!
