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:
Helade & Sola is a Lagos-based brand built around three connected but distinct expressions:
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.
HELADE & SOLA BAGS
is a design-led brand rooted in visual storytelling, texture memory, and cultural symbolism. Each piece draws inspiration from artistic forms, hand traditions, and the layered elegance of African and global craft histories. With an aesthetic that merges structure and ornamentation, the brand explores how material, silhouette, and embellishment can communicate presence, confidence, and identity — without words.
Our Approach
Across all three pillars, Helade & Sola follows the same philosophy:
Small production
Considered design
Materials that endure
Products made with care
Together, these expressions form the broader language of the brand.
