"It’s quite tough for women like me who wear UK size 9 and up, to find nice shoes. Most stores don’t carry such big sizes, and when they do, they sell out quickly. After complaining for years, I decided to create a line to make life easier for women like me who have bigger feet. I meet women every time who have the same challenges, and I was surprised to realize no one was really doing anything about it.’See more photos after the cut...
Gbémisókè is now available on online stores Jumia and Konga.
In a Facebook post early today, Gbemi who is a
princess from Owo kingdom in Ondo state, says her brand name means ‘Lift me up’ in her native Yoruba language.
‘When a woman has good shoes on, a nice and comfortable pair, she’s confident,
sure of herself. She on top of the world.'
‘I’ve been asked why the shoes
are so affordable. But truly, I didn’t want to make a luxury line. There are
many brands doing that already. I know a lot of Nigerians who cannot afford
luxury items. So I wanted something that solves the big feet problem, something
very fashionable, and something very affordable. I’m happy we’re able to
achieve all three with Gbémisókè.
