Hi , hansa - alisa ,

Traditional cloths means one which exhibit mauritian culture . Like every country has their typical clothing pattern .  Say in india for mens its kurta dhoti , for women its saree etc.

I was thinking to buy proper mauritian clothing if any.

There are no traditional clothes here. As Mauritians have different ancestral backgrounds, it's a melting pot in terms of clothing.

a) Maybe a yellow T-Shirt with 'No Problem' printed in big black letters on the front... with a dodo on the back?
b) A Straw hat.... with a dodo on the front?
c) Black T-Shirt with 'Disco Fever' written with multi-coloured Glitter... with a dodo on the label?
d) Safari suit... with a dodo on the side?
e) Savatte leponge... with a dodo underneath?
