In a bold move to elevate the Nigerian shoe market, Beyond Leather Culture (BLC) has unveiled its premium men’s leather shoe collection, offering a range of stylish, high-quality options. From loafers and sandals to Oxfords and Derbies, every piece is crafted with meticulous attention to detail using top-grade leather.
BLC’s mission is simple: to make premium leather products accessible through excellent online and in-store experiences. The brand aims to lead in creating a modern luxury experience with high-quality leather products in Nigeria, guided by values of client focus, excellence, authenticity, integrity, and community. The tagline captures the essence of the brand: “Luxury you can feel, quality you can trust” and the community slogan says
“It’s not just leather, it’s a culture.”
BLC recently held a Sip-and-Shop event to celebrate and appreciate the brand’s loyal clientele as part of activities to mark the opening of its physical store.
Speaking at the event, BLC Visioner, Mrs. Olufunke Isichei, said: “This isn’t our first year in leather. I began selling leather items in 2000; took a long break, and re-launched on Instagram in 2020. We have now opened a physical store. This gathering is a thank-you to the clients who have supported us over the past five years.”
Isichei emphasized that all its shoes are made from genuine leather. “The moment you enter our store, the scent alone signals you’re somewhere unique. A pair purchased today could last a decade without losing its style or elegance. We curate designs to suit our customers’ lifestyle; they’re classy, contemporary, and distinct.”
Beyond shoes, BLC’s offerings include boots, sandals, slippers, as well as belts, wallets, and card holders, providing a comprehensive leather experience.
Attendees praised the brand’s exceptional service. Adekanbi Adedipo, a longtime BLC customer, said: “Shopping at BLC has always been an experience. Even online, their service was impeccable. Now with a physical store, the ambiance and attention to customers are outstanding.”
Temitope Jinadu, Head of Customer Service, highlighted why clients return: “Beyond Leather Culture is more than leather, it’s a culture. Customers come back not just for quality, but for the experience. That sense of trust and community is what sets us apart.”
