Are Nigerian designers absurdly expensive?

There's been a big revolution in the Nigerian fashion industry.We have more than a few Nigerian labels making waves in the fashion world.Some power names like Deola Sagoe,Tiffany Amber,House of Nwocha,Jewel by Lisa,Lanre Da silva Ajayi to mention a few.But one honest question though,how many Deola Sagoe do you have in your closet?How many times have you been to a Tiffany Amber show room to get a few items for yourself?Maybe once or never.What am i saying in essence?A friend of mine has just one pair of pants from Deola Sagoe(and anytime she wears it the whole nation knows) and has like 12 pairs from primark and H&M.Why can't she have like six pair of Tiffany Amber's jeans and five from Deola Sagoe and just one from primark?Afterall it's proudly Naija.But dem no born am well.That's exactly my point.I thot proudly Naija was meant to be inexpensive?She coughed out a few thousands from her savings to get that one pair of pants.She's not thinking of a second pair soon lmao.......If you are in Naija,how often do you patronise our Nigerian celebrity designers?Or would you rather drive all the way to your tailor at ebutte meta down south to get that outfit done for like a few thousand naira that won't set you back too much?Are The big Nigerian labels just for a cliche of people (elites to be precise) or for everybody really?For someone that lives in orile Iganmu,makoko,iyana iba (and the likes),and wants a nice traditional outfit for self,will the person think of Jewel by Lisa first or would rather go for sura de tailor under peteesi who can equally make something nice but not as original as the likes mentioned above.
I'm honestly asking this question because I really do not know.




A very beautiful Deola Sagoe design.Apart from admiring them on the run way,how many of this can a meagre salary earner afford for self without going broke?



Another lovely piece from Tifany amber.
