Helade & Sola is a design brand based in Lagos and operated by SoHela Nova Holdings LLC. The brand is organised around three distinct but connected pillars:
Handcrafted leather bags, small leather goods, and clothing
Botanical skincare and body care products
Wellness products and herbal health support
Each arm reflects the same core values: intentional design, respect for materials, and careful production. Our products are developed in small quantities and sold directly to customers through our online store.
Within the Atelier, we create limited collections of leather bags and accessories. Many pieces are produced as one-of-a-kind designs. A number of designs incorporate Roidery™ embroidery, our signature technique inspired by West African needlework traditions. We do not work in seasonal cycles, and we do not accept custom orders. Each item offered is a finished piece available for direct purchase.
Foundation Botanics develops botanical skincare and body care products grounded in science and informed by plant-based traditions. Our formulations focus on long-term skin health using carefully selected ingredients and responsible formulation practices.
Health Forever extends our philosophy into wellness, offering herbal products and natural support systems rooted in traditional knowledge and everyday wellbeing.
Our Approach
Across all three pillars, Helade & Sola follows the same philosophy:
Together, these expressions form the broader language of the brand.
