I know you will be thinking if I am talking about my first shoe since I was a kid. No. But funnily, I still have them back home. They are original and I might even keep them in the museum. I know my kids ain't gonna wear them though they are beautiful shoes. I'm talking about a handcrafted shoe made by me. The journey began August last year in Ibadan. I started apprenticeship with a shoe firm and ended it early December. I had to put money together and waited till April to start apprenticeship with another firm in Lagos. It was an eye opener. Almost anything in Lagos is for a fee. 😂. I finished within the space of a month and returned to Ibadan May 1st. Prior to last week, I have not made any shoe aside the ones I did during training. So, I had to pull the bull by the horn and make a footwear for myself. Here are pictures of my jean shoe. I hope you will love and even patronize me. Pm me if interested. It goes for an affordable fee.
