What Ilekedi is known for
Ilekedi hand-strings waistbeads and matching anklets and bracelets in Lagos, reviving the Yoruba tradition of ilẹ̀kẹ̀ ìdí, once used to mark a girl's growth or a woman's marital status. The beads are sized to shift with the body, a property the brand markets as a natural way to track changes over time.
