About Bespokiet: Our Story
Where Heritage Meets Modernity
Bespokiet was founded on a simple, deeply held belief: that African heritage is not just tradition—it’s a lifestyle. We are a shop born from a passion to share the vibrant artistry, rich textiles, and timeless elegance of African culture with the world, creating products that make it easy for you to embrace your roots, no matter where you live.
Our Journey: From Beads to Bespoke Creations (Since 2013)
Bespokiet first came to life in 2013 from a personal passion project centered around two core crafts: African bead-making and the intricate weaving of Aso Òkè fabric.
What began as a dedication to mastering these skills quickly grew into a thriving business specializing in traditional Nigerian wedding and special occasion attire. For years, we had the honour of dressing families for their most important life moments, offering everything from exquisite:
-
Beads: Hand-strung coral and crystal accessories.
-
Aso Òkè: Custom-tailored ceremonial cloths.
-
Traditional Attire: Complete outfits spanning Edo, Igbo, and Yoruba styles, including beautiful traditional clothing for children.
Our New Vision:
Fully African, Fully Digital & Physical
Today, Bespokiet has evolved to serve a broader, more modern need, ensuring African-inspired beauty is accessible for every aspect of your life—both online and in your home.
We have channeled our foundational passion into a limitless range of digital and physical products, all inspired by the continent’s diverse cultures, food, art, and traditions.
Our Mission: Be Fully African, Everywhere
Our goal is straightforward: to create a whole market range for Africans—and those who love African culture—to be fully African, confidently and consistently, no matter their geographical location.
Every Bespokiet product is designed to bring a piece of the motherland to your doorstep, connecting you to the heart of Africa and celebrating the legacy we all share.
Thank you for being part of the Bespokiet story.
