The Frimla is a sleeveless cropped waistcoat that originated in Algeria during the 19th century. It is a variation of the Algerian Ghlila.[1][2]
The Frimla is said to have clearly developed in Algeria before French presence.[1] Descending below the bust it features gold threads and large passementerie buttons.[1][2]
