Hannade' Footwear

Few months before I was posted to Oyo state, Ibadan for National Youth Service Corps in 2017, I developed a strong interest in learning how to make leather products. I was super fascinated by a handmade leather bag I saw one time and I made up my mind I was going to learn that once I started serving.

Fast forward to when I eventually got my posting letter and had to resume the 3 weeks’ orientation camp in less than two days, I prepared as much as I could and set out to camp. So many things in-between this but I eventually settled in. So there is this thing that’s done in camp and It’s called Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development Program usually referred to as S.A.E.D. This has to be one of the best innovations NYSC has embarked on so far because I have seen how it has helped a lot of people gain relevant entrepreneurial skills. Well, because I already knew what I wanted before I even got my posting at all, I immediately opted in for the leathercraft session and there I found out I was more interested in shoemaking. I made my first slides and boom, that was it so I decided I was going go into this fully.

As soon as the orientation camp was over and I was posted to my place of primary assignment a.k.a PPA, I was favored enough to find a teacher at very close proximity to me where I spent the rest of my service year learning the art of shoemaking every Saturday and that’s how Hannadé started.

You will wonder how I coined the name.…. Well, it’s a combination of my first name and last name – HANNah ADEjumo with an accent.

Hannadé got registered under the Corporate Affairs Commission in March 2018 and since then it has grown and evolved to be what you see today serving over 100 customers with 70% of these as returning customers. Beyond gaining the skill, I have exposed myself and I am still exposing myself to thorough training on how to ditch hustling and run a sustainable business enterprise. I am not made for the hustle life!.

My team and I have had our high success moments and our low failure moments but we choose to see the brighter side and keep improving to do better. It's been a beautiful ride ever since. 98% of customers say we offer top both quality at affordable prices.
