Gidan Nodza handbag exhibition – February 26-27, 2010
The incredibly talented Amina Hassan, owner and designer of Gidan Nodza bags and accessories (really, go check out her work on her blog!) will be holding an exhibition in Lagos this coming Friday and Saturday, February 26 and 27. The exhibition is called Jaka – An Exhibition of Bags. I’m a huge fan of her work so I begged her for more information. For those of you who are in Lagos or plan to be, or those who know someone who you can send there on your behalf, here are the details:
Dates: February 26-27, 2010 (this week!)
Time: 9:00am – 8:00pm (both days)
Location: Cactus Patisserie, 20-24 Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue, Victoria Island, Lagos
Amina’s work blows me away because she doesn’t only construct the bags herself, she hand dyes the fabric part and I can’t even imagine how much work goes into that. Don’t take my word for it though; here is a preview of she has in store for you:
If you can make it on either of those days (or both days sef), go and show your support (tell her GNG sent you). Her work is truly beautiful and it’s good to support fellow Nigerians doing entrepreneurial things like this at such a high level, in addition to their day jobs! Simply inspiring!
Hmm, would have been nice if I could get my J to go….
She loves bags.
To do that, she’d probably have to ship Del to the grandparents. And I don”t see her trading him for bags anytime soon. Even for a couple of hours. Heck, she’d trade me for him.
I wish her and other entrepreneurs the best of luck!
Nice video and it’s good to see sisters doing well. All the best on the show.
i love her bags too!
i wish her a good showing.

Love love her stuff, will sub to her from my youtube channel…this is great . How are you doing girl? Been a while
I LOVE IT…I hope to flex my enterpreneurial muscles after school so this right here is very inspring…thanks GNG
Thank you guys…I am sooo nervous and asking so many what if? questions. Like I have been telling my partner lately I cannot wait for Sunday 28th Feb cos it will mean that the exhibition has been done with, in four days I have slept for less than 6 hours.
Thanks GNG for the feature. Stay blessed.
Love her bags, have one of them and I keep getting oohs and aahs whenever I take it out!
