About Olori

I was inspired to start Olori by the beautiful cultures of my people. Growing up in Nigeria, I was always surrounded by traditional prints and textiles. These textiles are symbolic of deep roots and stories so dear to my people, and I have always admired the art and craftsmanship behind them. By incorporating African fabrics into modern design, my mission with Olori is to invite people to experience the beauty and culture of Africa. Olori was also inspired by the trailblazing women in my family. Women like my grandmother, who was denied an education because of her gender, but who, through sheer determination, ensured that all her children got an education. I'm proud to carry on her legacy by providing an avenue for women and girls in under-resourced communities to reach their full potential.Read their story
