Melhfa

Melhfa, also known as Toungou, Toub, Tassaghnist, Laffaya, or Dampé, is a traditional cloth commonly found across the Sahel and Sahara regions of Africa.

It traditionally served as a means of protection from the harsh weather of the region and is typically made from natural fabrics such as cotton.

The melhfa wraps gracefully from head to toe, offering comfort in the desert's harsh conditions, with designs specifically crafted to endure the hot, dry climate and shield against cold, sand, and sun.

The Melhfa has gained considerable popularity in contemporary times, making appearances in fashion shows and being donned by celebrities.
