Leather Spa Opens Shops in Abuja

- Adedayo Akinwale in Abuja

The Managing Director, Leather Spa and Company, Ms. Chidinma Ekwebelem, has lamented that the country lacks reliable places to get luxury goods fixed, saying that there was need for more innovative services in Nigeria.

Ekwebelem who gave the hint in Abuja, revealed that she set up Leather Spa in order to break the barrier of travelling out to get luxury goods fixed especially leather products, in terms of repairs and restoratio­n.

According to her, "I always travel out to get my bags or my shoes fixed. Whenever I travel out I will just fix it and I will come back because we don't have reliable places in Nigeria where you can have your luxury goods fixed. So I came up with the idea, have always been passionate about business, I eat and breathe business."

She added: "I actually travel out for training for months and I came back and I decided to set this up because it's the first of its kind in Nigeria and we are happy to provide services like this because we needmore innovative services like this in Nigeria as to the normal norm that we have here."

Ekwebelem noted that she decided to do something different for a change and to also deliver good services which she said was the number one priority for the company.

She explained: "We restore and repair leather goods. We don't change the leather, we work with what you have. Just like for example now, you can't do anything with synthetic hair, but you can do a lot withhuman hair because it's natural."
