  • Gorgeous!

     

  • Be still my heart!  This would have caused a traffic jam in Haight Ashbury District in 1969.  Americans know that as the height of the Hippie's ethnic costuming craze in San Francisco.  I skipped the dope but I still like the clothing and accessories.  ;)

    in a second i saw it, i had blackout. i could not see anything for a seconds. i appreciate a lot touareg leather work and learned a lot with them. all the bags  i do are based on touareg leather work, the jewelry too.

  • I love specifically the little mirrors against the djinns.

  • nice said eva, the mirrors are by touaregs also used against the evil eye and to signal the presence or approch from far distance

  • @Ait Ouakli, thanks for the explanation. I knew that one about the evil eye, but to signal the presence or approch from far distance (I presume by the light falling on the mirror and reflecting),  is new to me. Nice to know! I really learn a lot from you, thanks.

  • Q eva. i m learning from you too. touareg use to live in tents. that the visitor do not disturb people, the mirrors are shiny from kilometers in the sun, so the people in the tent and arround know that there is a passenger or a friend coming. in case they are in the intimity, on without complet cloths......they know it and have time to be prepared.  it is a polite geste
