"My silk waistcoat with Malagasy motives" Top 5 Page for this destination Antananarivo Shopping Tip by Norali

What to buy: Silk cloth with Malagasy motives handpainted. As a gift from Mum back in the 90s, I don't know its price.

Mine was a commissionned work. My mother has chosen the motive (here, the Mahafaly region Aloalo, funeral ornaments found on their large tombs - see details on pic#2), the colour, the fabric. Harizo, the artist painted it &, from my understanding, had it sewn by someone else as a waistcoat.

I like it very much although still have to shrink to actually wear it. Cannot wait. I really appreciate it as a gift. Let's see: Black pants, easy! Black skirt, seldom wear skirts ! OK, I may wear one of the colours on the motives with it... Aaah! an array of possibilities! Wait & see.

Just a pity the artist who made it is now in Europe. Checking other contacts whom you'd buy such item in Tana. Then, I'll tell youabout pricing, location..etc.. the usual stuff
