Design-driven Nigeria-based women's footwear brand (and a StyleVitae editor's favourite!), LHAMBI has created another noteworthy collection of statement shoes in EU sizes 38 - 45, this time around the idea of play.
Getting dressed can (and should!) be fun, and LHAMBI approached this collection with the mission to turn getting dressed into play. Putting a look together can start from the garments, the accessories, from the top or the bottom, and, thanks to LHAMBI, “some days the shoe is the starting point”.
With this in mind, LHAMBI created The Art of Play, which, according to the brand, is their “most playful collection yet”, and we have to agree. Sparkly embellishments, colourful and glossy patent leathers, and a mix of textures with bold floral motifs and interesting patterns make it exciting to the eye. It's definitely a collection made for dressing up just for the fun of it!

Amaka Nwokeji, Founder, LHAMBI, sums it up, "People ask us what this collection is about, and the answer is simple: fun. We want women to feel playful again when they get dressed up, whether that's in embellishments, a bold pink floral or a pair of red patent platforms. The Art of Play is about bringing the joy back to getting dressed."

“With The Art of Play, we gave ourselves room to experiment. We wanted shoes with personality, colours that pop and details that are a little unexpected, and we wanted to leave women free to have fun with whatever catches their eye.”
We especially enjoy the bright colours, the different shapes of heels from block to stiletto, how each style has its own character, and there is something fun for every occasion.

We spoke also spoke with the brand about their ethos and the generous size range. They shared that LHAMBI was built around the belief that style has no limits and a spirit of carpe diem, “The name is inspired by the Greek word lambano, meaning 'to take hold of'." To us, that means choosing what you love and making it yours.” It is clear that they want to give more women the opportunity to make that choice, and so they make women's footwear in EU sizes 38 - 45.
The Art of Play is available now at lhambi.com.
