Folake Idowu Bello
Master of shoemaking, now teaching apprentices
- 🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria
- Lagos Shop
- Since 1999
- English
I've worked in shoemaking since 1999. I learned from my father and passed what I could on to 570 apprentices.
The best compliment I ever got was a customer who called me back 19 years later for another job.
More about Folake
Some of my old apprentices now run their own shops. I couldn't be prouder.

What gifts mean to Folake: I'd put gifts toward a new set of tools for the next apprentice.
