Lilabare was created in 2017 with a vision to create a wardrobe that is sleek, comfortable and minimal. You should be able to wear what you own for work, play and everything in between… and feel chic and sexy always.

“Lilabare is about creating a flexible wardrobe filled with timeless, functional & versatile pieces that you can wear through as many Vogue issues as they make,” Ria Ana Sejpal, Founder, Lilabare writes on the brand’s website.
According to Ria, Lilabare’s ethos is to create unique clothing and jewellery that benefit both the makers and the wearers of our pieces.
In 2018, SheTrades sponsored a delegation of 9 brands from Ghana, Kenya and Nigeria to attend the fall edition of COTERIE, which led to meetings with 100 buyers and secured US $495,000 USD in trade leads.
