Kindly introduce
yourself and your brand
My name is Baderinwa Omobolade Ibukunoluwa, my brand
constitutes of everything that boarders around indigenous fabric craft. Our
mission is to create indigenous pieces that ensemble; no matter the outfit
pulled off. Our major target is to ensure that while trying to imbibe the
indigenous style, women stand out.
Educational
background?
I am a graduate of Obafemi Awolowo University with a Bachelor
of Science and education degree in Economics.
What does your brand
do?
We produce handmade fabric pieces; these pieces range from shoes,
clutch bags, neckpieces, earrings, hair accessories, wristwatches, bangles and
bracelets
How did you start
your brand?
I took a paid course in fabric crafting and because I
generally have a passion for hand crafting; in one week I presented my first
set of pieces.
How do you make your
products?
The pieces are totally handmade, we make use of chains,
fashion wires and proper finishes, and we also incorporate ornaments to our
finishes. For the shoes some customers bring their pairs to be refurbished,
customers are also allowed to bring their fabrics for us to work with.
How lucrative is the
business?
As long as your creativity is evident such that your pieces
are unique, of topmost quality and durability, and affordable; just like the
sale of fashion pieces people would consistently buy into the product.
Price range of your
products?
It depends on what product and service you are purchasing,
some people prefer that we work with their fabrics and/or ornaments. However, some stand alone earrings go for as
low as a thousand naira.
What makes your brand
unique from others?
I incorporate the use of fashion wires and chain into my
fabric pieces, and I work very hard at making my finishing neat and decent….
Making it look just like the industrial pieces.
What has been the
response from customers?
So far, all my customers have loved their products; as a
matter of fact, for every product there is usually at least one referral.
What are the
challenges that you are currently facing?
I have to combine it with my regular job and since for now I
have no staff; it has been a major challenge.
Where you see the
brand in 5 years?
My very hope is that we would go viral with our brand
selling worldwide; we would have a school to teach interested entrepreneurs and
also a foundation to support women; especially single mothers, widows and the
less privileged ladies and women.
How can prospective
customers reach you?
