    Hi all! I thrifted this dress yesterday and I’m having a hard time figuring out what this brand is. Is anyone familiar with the label? The dress was a bit more expensive, so i feel like im missing something.

    I don't recognize the label. What does it say on the skirt?

    I’m not sure, i tried to translate but didn’t have much luck. The phrase is “Mahaba ya hazaran haifai”

    It's Hausa, spoken by the Hausa people who are mostly found in southern Niger and northern Nigeria. It means "It's not worth the risk"

    Believe, I didn't know this off the top of my head! And I still don't have any idea about the label yet.
