On Friday at The official Press Conference for Lagos Leather Fair 2026 () held at Ananse Center for Design (.fashionhub).

Holding the fort as a BOT member, Project Lead, and PR Director means seeing the heavy lifting that goes on behind the scenes, but on Friday my heart was full just watching our Convener, Mrs. Femi Olayebi (), address the press.

Mrs Olayebi started this journey in 2017 when the pathway for the leather industry was completely unclear. Because of her unwavering commitment over the last 9 years, thousands of artisans have been empowered, fragmented networks are being connected, and African leather is being recognized as a global economic force. 

Our theme this year, “BEYOND THE HIDE,” is the evolution of her foundational work. From breaking down The LLF Atelier and The Maker’s Bench to announcing the ₦1,000,000 prize for The Signature Piece Challenge, we are bringing her vision of an industrialized creative sector to life. 

A massive thank you to our incredible stakeholders, main partner , other partners , .fashionhub and our amazing media friends for showing up so heavily.

Lagos, get ready! June 27th–28th at EPAC is going to be phenomenal with evening events LLF FashionShow and LLF Awards. Registration is on click the link in ’s bio to secure your spot!

Lagos Leather Fair is back for its 9th edition, and this year’s theme says it all:
Beyond The Hide: Scaling Value, Building Industry, Driving Growth.

What started as a platform to spotlight leather craftsmanship has grown into a movement; one that connects talent, drives innovation, and champions the business of leather in Africa.

This year, LLF is thinking even bigger and reflects on where the leather industry is headed, the role we all have to play in building something more sustainable, more structured, and more impactful.

From designers to manufacturers, from emerging brands to established players, LLF continues to create a space where ideas turn into opportunities and conversations lead to real progress.

Your logo is just a symbol, your story is the heartbeat. ❤️🔥

Culture isn’t just a slide in your pitch deck; it’s the way your team talks about you when you’re not in the room and how your customers feel after every interaction. From the founder’s journey to the team’s daily wins (and even the struggles), stories are what build lasting loyalty.

Don’t just show them what you sell, show them what you mean.

“Silence.. is not humility.” 🤐✨

In business, staying low-key is often just another word for invisibility. If they can’t see you, they can’t buy from you! Don’t let your competitors steal your shine show up, speak up, and own your wins.
Which one are you doing today: staying quiet or being seen? 👇
