Traditional

Saki (Traditional Weaving).  The traditional Hausa woven women dress is made up of two wrappers of saki.  In some cases especially married women they sew/stilch in traditional way a Buba, just like that of Yoruba women.

The wrappers are in classes :

• Idon Kwartuwa which is normally expensive and is for the rich and royalists.
• Mai Kwarya-kwarya: This appears In two columns, there is the white one and the black one.
• Duba Uwar Rago:  It is a mixing of black and white thread. It is expensive also.
• Madaa: Black wrapper with white lining in the middle.
• Giwar Basa: it was decorated with wool.
• Dunhu: Plainly black.
• Mudugare: This is typically Fulani dress.

Then we have Gwado and Luru bed-sheets for wall decorations.
