It's Official...We have a stockist!!!




Its been a looong time coming. You would think that with the all the shops and boutiques doing business in Lagos getting an outlet/stockist will be a piece of cake right? WRONG!!!  We have searched, approached, written and spoken to soooo many shop owners but we never make it to the point where a mutual agreement is reached. I've heard things like "it doesn't look handmade enough" (I don't know...should I take that as a compliment?) or some would suggest "why not make them in China then come and sell them here" or "they are too expensive, no one would buy them seeing as they are made in Naija" or "...we will stock only if you agree to use OUR OWN BRAND NAME" or "we will take 60% commission on each sale and of course you have to pay a little 'something' for stocking in our lovely outlet" Some store owners triple the agreed price and grumble when it stays on the shelf forever, I can go on and on...

For us, the GN outlet has to be ideal, not just location but the overall ambiance of the outlet has to work together with our product and, our product has to work well with other products in the shop too...get my drift? So, enter our synergy with Weave and Co. This is their bio on FB;

We are specialists in the art of basketry, weaving, contemporary art and craft. We offer a range of products that reflect the variety and depth of Africa. At Weave & Co. our emphasis is on quality, innovation and most importantly customer satisfaction...

Need I say more? See below for outlet details. 


To scratch all your Gidan Nodza itch or, if you are just curious to see if we are all that we say we are, visit Weave & Co at No 1 Moorhouse M-Gallery; Bankole Oki Road Ikoyi Lagos... I know, that "Oga at the Top" throw pillow is killing it! 

If and when you do make it over there, please let us know and if possible, share a picture  with us :*
