Itele Shoes: Nigerian artisans create new dawn in footwear excellence

Itele Shoes is just another reason we should be proud of Nigerians making use of their skill, talent and sartorial flair! The handmade shoes are created, cobbled and made in Nigeria and they look exquisite. The range flows from office wear to evening wear to casuals on point. Every single shoe shows exquisite stitching and attention to detail – something I thought Nigerians had lost the ability to do. Seyi Agboola and his team of master craftsmen are a pride to the nation and you really should buy a pair today!

See, I am endlessly fascinated by male fashion. Women can run the gamut of colours, styles and concepts and nobody says nothing. Female fashion can veer into androgyny and skip back to ultra-femme; nobody would lose sleep. We go from floral to austere with ease and, dare I say it, permission. And yet, men are still being asked if they are “man enough” to wear pink.

So I love to see men create stunning fashion within the remit of socially accepted colours and rules. Still sticking with the masculine colours and lines, and making something breathtaking. This is exactly what the Itele Shoes collection is: fabulous.

What makes me love this brand even more is that it is unashamedly Nigerian. The name: Itèlè is Yoruba, complete with accents lets you know that Seyi Agboola is a man who has pride in his heritage and his skills.

Secondly, the pricing is so competitive, you’d be silly not to! With shoes starting as low as N15,000, you’ll struggle to beat these prices. Ladies, Valentine’s Day beckons! Please take this shame away from us and buy something excellent for your man. Not everyday singlet and “boxter shots” – some days, exquisite footwear!

I urge you to buy Nigerian. Not just because of a sense of economy, but because it is simply superior. Contact the seller here:
