The music star has released the look book for the collection and we love it!

Inspired by the Afropolitan and eclectic fashion leanings of Yemi Alade, the collection includes distinctively and ingeniously crafted pieces all done in antique brass, antique gold, gun metal black, leather, antique silver and more. Christened the Yemi Alade Collection, it is targeted at today’s urban, fearless and fun-loving stylistas.

According to the Creative Director of Bland2Glam, “With this collection, there is a touch of the dynamic, high-spirited woman Yemi Alade is. From the fearless Kingpin set to the cupid-like romantic ‘Stay Smitten’ set, you will find pieces that reflect the inimitable dynamism of today’s African woman”

The collection includes a piece inspired by Yemi’s breakthrough hit single; ‘Johnny’ and her signature word #HOHA.

Take a look!

Nigeria’s Leading Jewellery brand, Bland2Glam, is celebrating its 7th anniversary and to commemorate this momentous milestone, the brand is branching out from being totally female-centric by releasing its first jewellery collection for men.

Bland2Glam also makes its first foray into clothing by creating a range of premium cotton tee shirts for women. The cotton quality of their tee shirt range is totally unmatched as they are highly resistant to stretch, shrinkage and colour loss.

The brand guarantees minimum durability of 3 years on these tee shirts, we think this is amazing!

The brand has got so much in store for the dudes and to start off their “love affair” with the men, Bland2Glam has released the coolest set of bracelets you would ever see in one go!

Since women are known to love wearing everything men own from boxers to shirts, we know the ladies will enjoy these bracelets as much as the men. No worries, there’s enough to go round!

Bland2Glam has launched a really exciting campaign tagged #thePowerof7 which features Daniel Etim-Effiong, Belinda Effah, Kaylah Oniwo, Akah Nnani, Tallulah Doherty, Ben Touitou and the gorgeous Delphinator, to celebrate 7 years in the fashion business.

There will also be an exclusive strictly-by-invitation party at the Landmark Beach to celebrate this special moment with friends and supporters of Bland2Glam.

Seyi Banigbe, Bland2Glam founder & CEO, while speaking on the brand’s achievements said: “They repeatedly told me it was impossible to create a fashion brand that could provide a healthy combination of affordable and good quality jewellery. “Nigerians shop for these things abroad”, many have said to me, but my response has always been “give Nigerians prices and quality similar to what they find abroad and they’ll shop for premium fashion in Nigeria.

“I’m glad I followed my dream because the jewellery company that started from the boot of my car has sold over 10,000 pieces of jewellery to customers across Nigeria and the globe too! In the last 7 years we’ve achieved a lot; from hiring scores of Nigerians, to creating jewellery designs peculiar to the African woman’s taste and tone, our mission has always been to make great quality accessories affordable and accessible to Nigerians.”

Seyi Banigbe, founder of prominent jewellery brand, Bland2Glam, received the award for “Best Retail Organization in Range Excellence” on behalf of the brand from the Lagos Business School, on their campus.

The Lagos Business School’s Africa Retail Academy announced this award at their recently held 2024 Africa Retail Congress.

Bland2Glam specializes in the design and retail of urban fashion jewellery for men and women. Banigbe started the business in 2012 from her laptop and has grown the brand into a nationally recognized one with retail locations in premium shopping malls at Lagos, Enugu, Ibadan and Abuja; Bland2Glam is also present in the departure lounge of the Muritala Mohammed Airport 2 and employs over 30 Nigerians.

On receiving the award Banigbe said, “Being recognized by this institution is the pat-on-the-back Bland2Glam needed after twelve years of being in operation and retailing across malls nationwide every day of the week. We started off retailing female jewellery only but bringing the business to this point where we have as many male customers as female customers across all ages, has been a lot of hard work on our part and we are grateful for this award.”

Louis Nzegwu of the Lagos Business School presented the award to Seyi Banigbe and explained that Bland2Glam won the award because they are an “innovative organization which has redefined the landscape of urban jewellery design and retail in Nigeria, demonstrating that the Nigerian retail sector is not merely about transactions, but building relationships, understanding customer needs and creating an unforgettable shopping experience.”

The theme of the 2024 Africa Retail Congress was “Retail Beyond Borders: Expanding Local Trade, Unlocking Global Markets” and awards were presented to leading retailers across varied sectors. Wema Bank and Med Plus also won in other retail categories.

Bland2Glam is an award winning fashion jewellery brand known for its affordable line of top-quality jewellery and accessories for both men and women. Banigbe, the brain behind the 13 year old brand, was unveiled as the face of their latest collection of meticulously crafted jewelry that delivers a vibrant burst of natural stones.

According to the Bland2Glam founder, her love for gemstones stems from the rarity, durability and beauty that each stone possesses which makes each design from the Founder’s Collection a piece of art that will last for generations to come. Sharing that she decided to create jewellery that speaks to her personal style, Seyi is delighted to share the gift of a sophisticated jewellery collection made from gemstones such as Ruby, Sapphire, pearls, amazonite, tiger eye, sea shells and zirconia.

She said the Founder’s Collection comprises a range of jewelry that can easily take jewellery lovers from their work space to glamorous weekend events. She expressed her excitement about the range of designs in this new collection.

The Founder’s Collection includes pearls and other gemstones skillfully nestled in 18 karat plated brass metal. Jewellery designs from the collection are both timeless and modern with delicate crafting to accentuate any stylish outfit.

According to Banigbe; “the Founder’s Collection represents the strength, tenacity and doggedness that building Bland2Glam from scratch has developed in me and from a heart that has waded through the toughest waters to get to this moment, I present my very first Founder’s Collection. It is jewellery made for everyone that believes in the uniqueness and strength of their ideas.” This unique jewellery collection is now available on www.bland2glam.com.ng and in all Bland2Glam retail spots in major malls across Nigeria.

Seyi Banigbe is a lawyer and serial entrepreneur with several successful businesses in Nigeria. After 13 years of growing Bland2Glam, the brand was recently named “Best Retail Organisation in Range Excellence” by the Lagos Business School Africa Retail Academy.
