The first time I went, I was surprised by how many options were available in one place. From Ankara and lace to aso-oke, chiffon, and different types of tailoring materials, you’ll find sellers with different qualities and price ranges. If you take your time to walk around and compare shops, you can get really good deals.

One thing I’ve learned from shopping there is to ask around before buying. Prices can vary from one stall to another, and a little negotiation goes a long way.
