You might remember around Christmas when I wrote about visiting the Deola Sagoe flagship store to meet with Teni? Teni is one of the three masterminds behind CLAN. Teni, Aba and Tiwa are the three Sagoe sisters behind the fast-growing label. At such a young age, they have become some of the few people who are changing the face of Nigerian fashion- the designs appeal to a wide range of girls, the styles are unique, the quality is fantastic and best of all, a lot of it is affordable.
