The gele is a part of traditional womenswear in Nigeria, and is usually the indicator of an elaborate outfit much like a fascinator or a hat is to the West. Geles have been worn by Nigerian women for decades, but in recent years have become the ultimate fashion accessory for an a big party, called an owambe. Over the years, they have become more elaborate, intricate and now a gele is akin to a status symbol.
To tie a gele however, takes skill, which not too many have and it is common practice to get someone perhaps a make up artist or a professional gele tyer (yes they exist), to tie your gele for you. The invention of Auto Gele serves as a game changer, as they provide ready-to-wear geles, tied to perfection and all you need to do is fasten it at the back. Simple!
Now, getting dressed up and looking fancy just got a lot easier and for those women whose weekends are full of parties and weddings, it's the dawn of a new era.
