New Collection!




Due to unfortunate circumstances such as the attempted kidnapping of our artistic director Teni and the theft of a large part of our collection, we have been silent for a while. Our first collection in a year is finally on it's way, titled "Afrojazz." It is going to be epic!

Makeda Style.....





Some pieces in our Lagos boutique that embody our classic, ethical afro-bohemian style, Makeda style....... Using a unique blend of linen and ankara print to create our signature 1970's inspired silhouettes, as well as lame and other interesting fabrics. Can't do without our gold and bronze lame disco fever! Make sure you stop by sometime at 7, Manuwa st, off Keffi st, S.W Ikoyi. It's House of Makeda, the most beautiful boutique in Africa!
