Cynthia Abila

Cynthia Abila is an eponymous brand founded in 2016 by Cynthia Otiyo-Abila. Cynthia Abila is deeply interested in African cultures and storytelling. She reinvents these wonderful traditions as modern silhouettes for the traveling woman in her pieces, interpreting them as wonderful traditions.

Based in Nigeria, they are inspired locally, design, source, and produce materials by collaborating with artisans throughout the country. Their influences stem from the tribal traditions of South-South and Southeast Nigeria. They promote local production and the preservation of centuries-old handcrafted fabric production techniques. In doing so, we also provide important job opportunities and training to local communities. Their beaded and embellished pieces are also handcrafted before being machine finished. Flexible work policies have been implemented.

Women make up 70% of the working population, allowing them to support their families.

Their pieces are designed for the fashion-forward woman who seeks to expand her horizons while remaining true to her roots. Their mission is to demonstrate the timeless nature of African heritage and its application to modern clothing aesthetics.

 Accessories give more importance to your personal style, taste and preferences. They also offer unlimited opportunities for clothes, helping you to do the best of each item you have. Clothes take up more space physically in your closet and clothes, but accessories are important details to complete each appearance. By itself, a bag, scarf or jewelry will give much effect.
