The Nigerian-born designer received a Law Degree in the naughts, though Adéle found that the Law just wasn’t her passion. Years later in 2000, she attended London College of Communication to study typography.

In 2005, after relocating to Kenya, Adéle begun creating jewelry from brass and horn for personal use.  Friends and a growing fan-ship encouraged Adéle to launch her eponymous brand. Today her collections are reminiscent to life in Europe and symbolic to African culture. The collections uses recycled brass and other materials sourced from traditional tribal costumes. Adéle employs local, skilled artisans and maintains a glistening showroom in Lagos with an all-woman team.
