They are deviations from the everyday fashion you are used to. The dramatic sleeves, edgy slits, unique designs and exquisite tailoring add up to make our catalogue a must-see.

Growing up, music and rhymes were part of everyday life. We sang at school assemblies, during playtime with friends, and in church on Sundays. Yet many of the songs we belted out were not exactly the way they were written. Our young ears picked up what they thought they heard, and before long, new versions were born. One of the most unforgettable examples is the childhood rhyme “Sandalili.” Almost every Nigerian child grew up chanting, “Sandalili, sandalili, sandalili, sandalili, sandalili.” What many did not realise at the time is that the original words were “Standard Living.” But who cared about…
Trees are often described as the lungs of the earth, and with good reason. They provide us with clean air, shade, shelter, and even food. Planting a tree may seem like a simple act, but its impact can be far-reaching, touching not only our environment but also human health and well-being. Trees and Clean Air One of the most important benefits of trees is their ability to purify the air. Through the process of photosynthesis, trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. A single mature tree can produce enough oxygen in a year to sustain several people. At the same…
“Our titles, our positions are all temporary. If we let them define us, we’re bound to be lost when they leave us.” “In chess, every piece — the king, the queen, the bishop, the pawn — has its value only while the game is in play. When it’s over, they’re all returned to the same box and the lid is shut.” Introduction In the economy of human identity, titles and roles act like currency — tokens of value that society trades, rewards, and reveres. We become “Doctor,” “CEO,” “Father,” “Soldier,” “Winner,” and sometimes we carry those designations like armor. But…
Eggs have long been a staple in kitchens across the world. Simple, versatile and affordable, they are often enjoyed at breakfast, added to baked goods, or incorporated into a wide range of dishes. Beyond their culinary value, eggs are packed with nutrients that support overall health and wellbeing. Storage of nutrients Eggs are often described as “nature’s multivitamin” because of the variety of essential nutrients they contain. A single medium egg provides high-quality protein, vitamins A, D, E and B12, riboflavin, folate, selenium, and iodine. These nutrients are vital for maintaining good health, from supporting energy production to keeping the…
Arriving in a new country is exciting, but it can also be overwhelming. Every culture has its own way of doing things, from how people greet one another to how they dress, eat, and even queue. If you are not careful, you can quickly stand out as a “JJC”, a Nigerian slang term for “Johnny Just Come”, used to describe someone who is clearly new, inexperienced, or unfamiliar with local ways. The good news is that with the right approach, you can blend in faster and avoid looking like a newcomer. Learn the basics of the languageYou do not need…
When communities are designed, the pattern of housing is one of the most important considerations. Two common approaches are clustered housing and dispersed housing. Each carries its own advantages and challenges, and both have implications for land use, community life and sustainability. Clustered housing refers to a style of development where homes are built close together in compact groups. This design often preserves large areas of open land, which can be used for farming, recreation or conservation. The proximity of homes encourages social interaction among residents and makes it easier to provide shared facilities such as playgrounds, green spaces and…
Dear Dorothy, I often find myself saying yes when I really want to say no. I agree to take on extra work, lend money I cannot spare, or spend time with people even when I am exhausted. I do not want to upset anyone, but it leaves me drained and resentful. Am I simply kind, or am I a people pleaser? And if it is the latter, how do I stop? Regards, Rose Dear Rose, You have asked an honest and important question. There is a difference between kindness and people pleasing. Kindness is a conscious choice, it comes from…
Abuse in relationships is not always obvious. Many people assume abuse only means physical violence, but it can also be emotional, psychological, financial or even social. An abusive relationship strips away self-confidence, independence and peace of mind. Recognising the signs is the first step towards seeking help and reclaiming control of your life. Constant criticism and humiliation If your partner continually belittles, mocks or insults you, this is a sign of emotional abuse. This behaviour may happen in private or in front of others. Over time, it erodes self-worth and makes you doubt your own abilities and value. Isolation from…
