GELE TIEING MADE EASY! YINKA THOMAS-OGBOJA INTRODUCES “ASAKE”, THE FIRST EVER READY-MADE PLEATED GELE
 |
| Yinka Thomas-Ogboja |
For most
African women, tying a ‘Gele’ (head tie) is a difficult ordeal, which
discourages them from wearing this lovely piece and promoting our rich culture.
The CEO of Opeke, Yinka Thomas-Ogboja, happens to be one of many women who used
to face this ordeal prior to an event. It was either they couldn’t tie the
geles themselves, or dress up took forever because of their struggles with the
geles and husbands started to turn red in the face, or they weren’t ready to
constantly enrich the pockets of makeup/gele artists (no offense). Some even
desired to dress traditional to church or certain functions but the headache of
headgears was the beginning of abstinence. All these challenges led to the
birth of Opeke translated “fine girl or
“omoge”, an indigenous fashion brand aimed at promoting the African culture and
beauty. Opeke launched with a signature line called “Asake”, already pleated,
easy-to-tie, ready-made geles.
