One of the high points of the 2021 City People Fashion & Beauty Awards, was the celebration of Chief Mrs. Olufunmilayo Ogunbadejo, the founder of Tisbee Aso Oke.
She was honoured with
a Lifetime
Achievement Award for her remarkable contributions to the Aso
Oke Business.
Many were pleasantly
surprised at how refreshingly young she looked at 75.
Tisbee Aso Oke commenced
business in 1993 with the sole aim of revolutionising the use of Aso
Oke in our day-to-day social activities. At 75, she has not retired.
She has only slowed down a bit to allow her 2 beautiful and hardworking
daughters, Dele & Funke Ogunbadejo to take over
the active running of the business.
The founder, Chief
Mrs. Funmilayo Ogunbadejo runs the main business, whilst her daughters
run The Annex of Tisbee.
Her daughter, Dele,
told City
People a few months back how they got involved in the business. “My
sister Funke & I both started with Mummy, later we
started introducing new ideas and designs to spice up the conventional Aso
Oke. We added a new twist, like stoning, hand painting, and introduced
laser cut Aso Oke designs which till date remains the rave of the moment
among fashionable people”.
According to Dele
Ogunbadejo, “at Tisbee Aso Oke, we maintain one
unique procedure. We just don’t sell to people ready-made Aso Oke. We design and
weave to client’s taste and satisfaction. "
The head office is at 5 Majekodunmi Street, while the Annex is at 4 Agbaoku Street, Off Opebi, Ikeja-Lagos.
