WHAT IS A BOUBOU AND HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM OTHER GARMENTS?

The boubou is a traditional flowing robe worn across West Africa, known for its elegant drape, vibrant fabrics, and rich cultural heritage. Unlike regular dresses or caftans, a boubou is often wider, more elaborately designed, and crafted to symbolize grace and sophistication for both everyday wear and special occasions.

HOW DO I CHOOSE THE RIGHT SIZE FOR A BOUBOU?

Our boubous are designed to be one size fits all, offering a comfortable and elegant fit for a wide range of body types. Their loose, flowing style naturally accommodates different shapes and heights. If you would like a more tailored fit or have specific sizing concerns, please contact our customer service team for assistance.

ARE YOUR BOUBOUS HANDMADE OR MACHINE-PRODUCED?

Every boubou we offer is handmade with care by our founder, Jane Doe, using traditional techniques and premium fabrics. Each piece reflects her dedication to craftsmanship, authenticity, and the beauty of African design.

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY BOUBOU?

We recommend hand-washing or dry-cleaning your boubou to preserve its color, embroidery, and fabric quality. Always use mild detergent, wash in cold water, and avoid harsh wringing. For machine washing, use a delicate cycle and place the boubou in a protective garment bag.

Yes, we ship worldwide! Standard delivery within the U.S. usually takes 5–7 business days. International shipping times vary by destination but typically range between 7–14 business days. Expedited options are available at checkout for faster delivery.
