Slippers by kene - Giving slippers an African touch.

After completing her law degree at the University of Bristol , Kene Rapu, inspired by her love for fashion, eye for detail and creative nature started her own footwear line called Slippers by Kene in October 2011. Slippers by kene are made with different styles of fabric such as ankara, adire and aso oke and come in the variety of colours and designs, giving every customer a wide range to choose from. Kene currently makes slippers for women but will branching out into the male sector with the introduction of her men's slippers line in a few weeks. When asked what her plans and dream were for her footwear line, Kene said:

"I believe my brand will play a role in the growth of the local Nigerian industry through the use of locally sourced materials and workmanship, providing jobs and revenue for craftsmen who may not otherwise have a steady income flow. I also see Slippersbykene becoming a household name; every lady should own a pair!"


In addition to being entrepreneur, Kene currently studies at the Nigerian Law school and is also a part time model. 
Slippers by Kene can now be purchased on Kene's website, by leaving a message on her facebook group or by contacting Kene herself (links and details below).
