Gele glam is the ultimate statement needed for every owambe now. The gele is a very important part of Nigerian fashion. It shows style, beauty, grace and pure Nigerian tradition. We never forget our tradition despite the civilization as gele is one of the things people look forward to at every wedding.

Whether you’re of the Yoruba, Hausa, or Igbo peoples, the gele wrap is a conspicuous presence at major events; it’s ultimately the crowning glory of a Nigerian woman’s traditional attire. Gele can swell in size to maximize the woman’s beauty and style prowess.
