What does one make of the 'The Gentlemen of Bakongo 'from the Congo? A misplaced sense of consumption without production or as they contend, 'The Importance of Being Elegant'.Dylan Jones writes in the Guardian:
One wonders have they thought of making any of these items themselves?As with all dress, the Sapeur style is a form of self-aggrandisement, the cult of appearance. To them, to be well-dressed is to be successful, which is not just the essence of bling, it is a cri de coeur. But they do look extraordinary. They wouldn't look out of place strolling down Savile Row, resplendent in their multicoloured finery, carrying canes and cigars, putting one white buckskin loafer in front of the other and smiling as though they haven't a care in the world.
