Fashion We Love: Tote Classico Bags by Bola Obileye

We fell in love with these bags at first sight and we sure you love good things too. The collection is aptly named 'TÓTÉ Classico' as it features tribute bags to some of the designer's  favourite classic bags as well as some fresh new designs  

According to Creative Director Bola..."Making bags in Nigeria is a great challenge given our limited resources, machinery and expertise, it's a huge learning curve for us at TÓTÉ but we continue to take one step at a time, learning and adapting our production to the reality on ground".As you can imagine we endure a lot of wastage in our aim for perfection but we continue to strive to create handbags of great quality and although it's tough...I remain very very proud of our heritage that our handbags are made on "NIGERIAN SOIL"

 

Today, it is her joy to share with you all my second collection of Ankara (and leather) bags... TÓTÉ Classico..
