Africa is blessed with a rich culture and traditional outfits. From Nigeria to Congo, Libya to Ghana, and South Africa to Zambia, we have mind-blowing local outfits you can not resist. We are fortunate to have talented designers who have transformed the way we wear our traditional outfits. Congo is famed for her bright, elegant, bold, and brilliant colourful fabrics. The Congolese fashion is pronounced and striking, giving them the attention they deserved. While they embraced the Western tune, they did not neglect their local fabrics and outfits.


In Brazzavile, colours and fashion are the definition of their lifestyle. The streets are filled with glistening colourful fabrics that paint the whole place with life. Coming to Congo means that you would see a mixture of modern and traditional outfits. Talking about outfits, the traditional Liputa keeps you spellbound with the numerous designs that the locals use the fabric to produce. Everyone in different fashionable styles wears Liputa. The women make use of it to complement their creativity. Many of them complete their outfit with a headscarf crafted from their Liputa.
The fabrics are more often than not found at the local market. People also often design ‘Liputa’ for different purposes, tailored sometimes for certain audiences, for example paying tribute to a leader, marking a special occasion, or at a sporting event.


Congolese styles are not designed for the Western trends, they are designed to stand out in their striking print and vibrant hues to portray their culture boldly. Liputa is not often be seen in the local markets. You can wear the fabric for many purposes, which is aimed at specific audience. Take, for example, Liputa can be used to pay tribute to someone, used for an event, or mark a memorial occasion.
In Congo, the more colourful you appear, the more respect you receive from people. That means Liputa is not designed to look average. The locals love it because of its beautiful designs and colours. If you want to make fashion sense in Congo, come with your colourful and beautiful Liputa.

When it comes to looking good, Congolese do not disappoint. They have never been in the background when it comes to expressing themselves in culture and tradition. With their Liputa, they have gotten the respect they want in their traditional outfits.

While these fabrics might look similar, they have their differences. You do not have to be a Congolese before you rock their Liputa.
