In celebration of its 6th anniversary, Cocomanella recently hosted its loyal customers at a special event tagged: ‘Shop & Chops’.
The iconic fashion house also used the occasion to unveil the brand’s latest collection, Colours of Africa, as well as its global online shopping platform.
According to Cocomanella’s founder/creative director, Oluwatobi Oluremi Judah, Shop & Chops encapsulates the commitment to celebrating African-inspired fashion.
“We’ve grown organically through referrals, Instagram, and the support of our loved ones. This year, we’ve taken a significant step by building a dedicated team and launching our e-commerce platform to reach a global audience,” she declared.
Inspired by strong women, Judah’s designs reflect a blend of elegance and comfort. “If you look at our logo, it’s a woman on a horse, holding a sword in one hand and a book in the other. That symbolises my mom. A very strong woman raised me and her mother, my grandma, Kaiti, was also incredibly strong and fashionable. Their influence, coupled with my love for beautiful fabrics, has shaped my aesthetics,” Judah noted.
Corroborating her, Onyemeh Stephanie, the brand’s manager, said: “Cocomanella is for the modern woman who embraces her femininity and diverse roles. We strive to create affordable luxury that empowers women to look and feel their best. We are glad to have come this far.”
