The Toub is celebrated by many African cultures as the epitome of modesty, elegance and grace. Across Africa, this cultural stable is referred to by many names including Melhfa (sometimes spelt Melfha, Melafa, Meulfeu, or Mlahef), Dampé in Mauritania & Mali; Lafaya in Northern Nigeria (Arewa), Niger and Chad. In Sudan it isn’t uncommon to hear it referred to as Tiyyab.
