As Edmark launches Nigeria’s first ever cashless shopping bazaar in Ikeja, Lagos, a lot of movers and shakers in the Nigerian business and corporate world congregated to display their products and services to the teeming crowd who stormed the venue with the intent to either purchase some products, or merely to window-shop.
One of such people whose eye-catching array of exotic and quality designer bags and gowns got everyone enraptured and mesmerized was Mrs. Odufolake Akinnuoye.
Amongst the myriads of people who displayed their collections and wears at the event, Mrs. Akinnuoye’s collection stood out owing to the unique design and quality of the wears.
Mrs. Akinnuoye is the CEO of ABYDICKS Collections.

With her clientele cutting across different strata of the populace, she ensures she gives them authentic and quality products that match their taste. This passion for excellence informed her decision for getting her shoes, bags, and clothes from Turkey, a country reputed for providing the best quality and luxury designer brands.
Speaking to the BrandiQ team yesterday at the exhibition ground, this ebullient and soft-spoken woman with an enviable charisma disclosed the secret to her business success. Hear her; “one reason I have been doing well in this business is owing to the fact that I go for the very best.I believe in quality. My bags are all pure leather. Bags you can use for 15 years and above without it having any issues are good bags, and those are the kind of bags I have. There are some shops you walk into and buy expensive bags, believing that the bags are quality bags, only for you to realize later that you bought a low quality bag. But I can say with all amount of pride and confidence that not one single individual has had any cause to regret buying from me.”
She also stated that many ladies and men come to her shop to buy her products at wholesale price and resell them with a good profit margin.
“Whenever these people come to me to buy one, two, or three bags or gowns to go and resell, I give it to them at wholesale price because the realization that my business is positively touching other people’s lives gives me great joy” she said .
When asked about the challenges confronting her in the clothing business, she said the fluctuating dollar exchange greatly affects the price of goods. But on the whole, she is grateful to God that her business enjoys good patronage from people in Lagos state and outside Lagos.
