Shekudo, founded by designer Akudo, draws on heritage, life experiences and love of the design process aiming to deliver original, timeless and meaningful products. Produced in Lagos, Nigeria, they shed light on the local craftsmanship of the country and local products while integrating some of the age-old techniques and overlooked local resources into its own contemporary aesthetic. The Shekudo brand prides itself on being a socially responsible label as well as an advocate for slow fashion and women’s empowerment by creating training opportunities in footwear and bag production with a predominately female employee base.
