‘Slippers by Kene’ is a footwear line from the eponymous fashion accessories label ‘Kene Rapu’ which was introduced in October 2011. Kene holds an LLB Law degree from the University of Bristol, UK. Prior to that, she spent her secondary school years at the Cheltenham Ladies College, UK. She moved back to Nigeria in July 2011 and is currently at the Nigerian Law School. Kene juggles her academia with part time modeling and now, being an entrepreneur. She has modeled in shows such as the MTN Lagos Fashion and Design Week, and was one of the finalists of the Face of Sleek 2011 competition, to name a few.
Kene’s
love for fashion, eye for detail and creative nature inspired her to start her
own footwear line. The newly introduced line has grown very quickly, with a
demand for slippers way beyond her expectation, and a clientele base spanning
from children to grandmothers, to a number of women of style.
‘SlippersbyKene’
are handcrafted and made to order. Part of the production process involves
sourcing for high quality and durable materials, to ensure clients are given value for their money. Kene works with a
wide range of colors and styles of fabric, including ankara, adire and aso oke
to give clients variety. Clients who like their bling also have the added
option of bedazzling their slippers.
There has also been a lot of male interest in the slippers, and after much demand Kene will be launching a men’s slippers line in the upcoming weeks.
