zelfmade

My name is Elijah Archibong, Fiber-Optic Technician and the founder of ZelfMade.

Inspired by my passion for fashion and creative art since I was a kid, I started a self-taught leathercraft journey to bring into reality some of the sketches I drew out of my hobby. 

Leather crafting has been beneficial to me over the years, allowing me to express myself and my emotions while creating every piece with my bare hands.

Being a graduate of Geoinformatics and Surveying, I've experienced firsthand how quality and trust make a big difference in the Real Estate Sector, which affects customer decision-making every step of the way.

With this perception in mind, I founded Zelfmade — a proudly Nigerian-owned brand that produces original leather goods, specially handcrafted fashion materials.

For about four years, we've been loyally serving our customers with the highest quality handcrafted accessories and bespoke fashion materials like unisex footwear, bracelets, belts, bags (ranging from handbags, waist pouch, slings, laptop bags, school bags, etc.

Our mission is to give supreme quality, finesse, and durability to made-in-Nigeria products. Our inspiration lies in changing the misconception that Nigerian products are of the lowest grade, durability, and class.
