It basically manufactures bespoke (hand-made) products like bags,

source fabrics like Aso-oke, Ankara, Damask. It is a craft made-in
Nigeria in local ethnic fabrics and the leather pieces are naturally
sourced.According to Princess as she is fondly called ....."My bags don’t come cheap"..... and we can not agree more as they are specially hand made with rare finds of 100% reptile skin ranging from crocodile to snakes to the finest of avian finds of ostrich skin and the likes . Not to mention the extravagant use of swarovski crystals and natural sea pearls which sits the brand comfortably in the royal sect .
Its also interesting to know that these collectors items are all named in celebration of distinguished Nigerian women – women who had carved a niche for themselves in their various areas of endeavour. some of whom are Folorunsho Alakija, Dr. Stella Adedevoh, Mrs Agaresse Arase, Dame Abimbola Fashola, Lady Debola Williams and many others.
