The last one is definitely a west african attire. I'm west african from senegal and our women wear it at home to do the dishes.

Dirac is a Yemeni dress that Somalis copied.

Dirac only became popular in Somalia during the 1970s.

Imagine hating on other people for something that isn't even ours, Ceeb.

Dear Grass Fields,

We are potential customers who have followed you on social media. We were excited to support Black owned brands until we realised that you have been stealing and appropriating our culture for profit.

We have seen the "kaftans" you are selling and recognise them to be DIRACS and BAATIS from the Somali ethnic group.
We saw you claim they are "BooBoos", upon researching we realise your claim is entirely false.

Please rectify this matter by giving us our credit for OUR creations.

We wish you all the best,

The Somali Community.

Awesome

I didn’t know Dirac isn’t a Somali attire originally. You learn new things everyday. We definitely rep it more than anyone though what happened to Yemenis did they drop their own Dirac attire for more arab-ish clothing ?

 

[Trump]

Wait really

Yes if you look at the replies of the tweet you'll see that many French west african women are also surprised by the price because they normally wear these dresses at home. Even my mom have one of it.

Let them take it. This is haram clothing. Women should be wearing abaya. If it was food like the Israelis stealing hummus and falafel it would be a different story.

Aren't you the one that was begging a White woman to marry him? I bet you are also a non Somali African male.

Learn to read. I am already married without current plans for anymore. Don't lie about me.
