Omolola Adeyemi with OvaAfrique handbags from Nigeria
OvaAfrique exhibited handbags from Nigeria at the 2025 AFA Canada Fashion Expo
OvaAfrique is run by Omolola Adeyemi who imports and sells products made by her friends and relatives in Nigeria. She chooses her inventory carefully with Canadians in mind, and has a personal relationship with the goods’ creators in Africa. At the show, she told me how each colourful handbag celebrates the beauty, diversity, and vibrancy of Africa which she hopes will appeal to Black Canadian women with African-centric lifestyles.
