"Exotique is an African boutique on West Main Street in downtown Durham. During recent days, everybody seemed to be shopping for the same thing – an outfit to wear to the opening weekend of “Black Panther.”
“I found this cute little, I guess semi-crop top. I like the blue and the gold. So I am going to wear that with some skinny jeans and some boots!” said an excited Kalia Robinson, from Durham. "I have got some earrings at the countertop as well, some bronzy earrings. So I’m ready!”
Lola Olufolabi, a native of Lagos, Nigeria, has owned "Exotique" for 12 years. She shows off several pairs of pants, tops and wrap skirts made with fabric from West Africa. She calls it the “good” cotton. And then there’s the stand where almost all of the cloth for head wraps is gone."
