Chelsea Paris, Lhambi And House Of Dot Shop Are Three Shoe Designers Shaping The Next Generation Of Shoe Designers From West-Africa

Every woman loves shoes, half the population of women’s closet are packing with about 60% of shoes if we are not mistaken and to not look at this fashion must-have would be doing a disservice and trust us everyone deserves a good quality every now and then.

For this article we have painstakingly gone through some look-books of designers out there making it in the shoe business and although some impressed us, we saw a few who could still do better, but we couldn’t help but admire three designers who are actually unique with their designs, choice of color and quality of work they churn out little wonder they might be relatively new, but they are giving the old guns a run for their money and we feel we need to shine the spotlight on them.

Starting off with Lhambi, Lhambi is an upscale fashion company that creates footwear with the most exquisite and high quality materials from the most notable regions of South America and Europe. Each pair of shoes is made with love by skillfully bringing together style, elegance and creativity for women from all walks of life because “style has no limits”. The brand also have a popular slogan which says ‘Shoes for everyone’ and they wont be far from the truth, taking 5 minutes tour of the brands Instagram page and for a minute you might think you are on an Italian luxury shoe designers page until you read their Bio and realize that they are born and bred in the heart of Lagos, Nigeria and that would make you wonder how on earth did this brand create all this lush shoes of international standard.
