Jewel By Lisa

Jewel by Lisa uses the highest quality Ankara from the Vlisco- Hollandis brand and is frequently mixed with fabrics as wide ranging as taffeta, linen, cotton, chiffon, chantilly lace, and silk. With each embellishment of the fabric with sequins, swarovski crystals and beads hand sewn carefully onto the fabric, a JBL garment on average will take about 120 hours to make. All of her garments are handmade in workshops in Lagos, Nigeria.

In 2008, Jewel by Lisa featured in the This Day Africa Rising Festival in London, and was one of only 3 designers chosen for the catwalk show at the M-net Face of Africa modelling competition. Jewel by Lisa has been featured in several publications such as Arise Magazine, True Love Magazine, ThisDay Style, Genevieve, and Elan. Lisa Folwaiyo was also featured and interviewed on the Moments with Mo talk show in 2008.

Inspiration
"The main theme for my collection is 'Classics Redefined'. This collection is an introduction to Jewel by Lisa to South Africa and essentially the World, featuring classic JBL pieces with a big of an edge. The collection focuses on bright colour mixes and pastel hues. With a hint of leather, a flow of chiffon, and mix of silk – classic JBL Ankara pieces are redefined for an ever-chic African and global woman."
