You see, this is my issue with some of these Naija fashion brands. A lot of these guys reach out to me saying they’d love to make something for me, but their pricing ends up discouraging me from supporting them. Maybe I’m not rich enough to be in their target market, and that’s fine but I think the bigger issue in the so-called Naija luxury space is the attempt to skip the hard process it takes to truly belong there.
You can’t price like the top 0.1% of global luxury while bypassing the years of craftsmanship, brand building, attention to detail, and cultural weight that justify it. Those are the things that come to mind when I’m forking out £1,500 at Harrods for a Louboutin or Ferragamo.
Luxury is earned over time through consistency, obsessive quality, and a story people genuinely want to buy into not this sleazy attempt to signal exclusivity.
Anyways, I wish this guy all the best.
