What informed the idea of Layoapeke Fabrics?
Layo Apeke is an age long name that started
with my late maternal grandmother, my late mum, and passed on to me, they were
successful Aso oke and fabrics merchants.
How long have you been in the Aso-ebi business?
I took it up officially from my mum five years
ago, but have been into it since I know how to call my name.
Who are your customers?
Everyone who loves to look good on their
special days and also wants to pick something unique and specially woven for
friends and family.
Which of your fabric is the customer’s favorite?

Yes, we do, and we put in cognizance of the
economy by providing friendly pockets packages as Aso Ebi. You don’t have to
break the bank to look good.
Do you do only special events clothing or also
provide casual clothing?
Our main focus are for the celebrants, friends
and family. We will be introducing our casual collections soon. However, people
can order personally if they do have events to attend and need to look uniquely
beautiful.
What are the challenges you experience as a
fabric sales person in the Nigeria?
The prices are not stable due to fluctuations
in dollar rates. That is a big challenge, because, we caught in between the
clients and our suppliers.
Any word of advice for interested fabric sales
person or upcoming aso-ebi organizer?
They should learn to understand the dynamics of
fabrics and its prices. They also need to be ready to learn about colors’ combination.
Do you have any last words?
