The importance of being elegant…
A journey with the Sapeurs of Bacongo,
a district of Brazzaville in the Congo,
and the true birthplace of Sape,the religion of style.
In the Congo”elegance” is very important.perhaps in no other country is a sense of style so crucially identified with its own cultural history.
A significant part of this heritage in the “Sape” and the “Sapeurs”(Society for the Advancement of People of Elegance) from the French “La Societ‘e des Ambianceurs et des Personnes ‘El‘egantes”.
