Koélé was inspired by Leilani who is the Founder and Creative Director for the Koélé brand. Born to a Togolese father and a Ghanaian mother, Leilani spent over half her life in Cameroon and Nigeria where she developed a unique appreciation for the diversity in fabrics and designs that lie within West Africa: bright colors, bold prints and a variety of textures. Koélé is an amalgamation of those African experiences that makes Leilani who she is today. Koélé has set out to change the perception that anything made in Africa (Nigeria in particular) cannot be of good quality. Koélé's eccentric bags and sandals are proudly made in Nigeria!
