Comesa Market
A ‘chitenge’ (a colorful-print wraparound cotton fabric) is an important part of a Zambian woman’s wardrobe, as it is used to make outfits for special occasions, as a wrap to carry babies, worn as a skirt to funerals and other occasions. It also makes a great souvenir for travelers. The Comesa Market, located in the Central Business District referred locally as ‘town’, is the best market to find a variety of styles, colors and prints of chitenge.
