Throwback to this amazing day when we had the first look book shoot for Hingees. Almost 4 years now, that day was filled with a lot of excitement and fear. The excitement from doing what I really enjoyed (design) and fear of failing (at business).
Over time a lot has really changed, however, the core of the Hingees brand has remained the same — Design useful and functional products that would connect with our community of amazing customers and fans.
If you didn’t know, that is also where the idea behind the name ‘Hingees’ comes from. It’s a play on the word “hinge” an object that connects and holds two things together.
Launching Hingees taught me a lot about people and the interesting ideas they’d love to share to make society better.
One of the things that give me an immeasurable level of joy is when people ask if Hingees products are made in Nigeria. I’m always happy to say yes! In fact, we print our t-shirts in Akoka and a huge part of our packaging materials are produced in Shomolu.
Owing to this, a lot of people have reached out regarding sourcing good quality t-shirts for their brand, team or organisation.
After so much deliberation and groundwork in the past 6 months with the Hingees team, I’m happy to introduce BlankTribe. An offshoot of the Hingees brand. The goal is simple! To produce quality apparel and merch for brands, businesses and individuals. Something they would love to rock every day over and again.
Kindly check out @BlankTribe on all social channels and support us as we embark on this new journey. Don’t forget to tell someone to tell someone.
