The event began with a press conference boasting an impressive turnout of influencers, celebrities and well-wishers, elegantly dressed in premium African print clothing who came prepared to experience a day in Mosé Wonderland whilst having an African tea party. The guests were greeted by compere, Ify Igwe who introduced all to The Mosé Store brand.

The Creative Director of the Mosé Store, Nowe Isibor, began by speaking about her incredibly daunting yet rewarding journey that saw the inception of the Mose store. Guests were shocked to know that the Mosé Store had been in existence for over two years.

She said of her journey: “There were times when the store was empty and no one was buying anything but I would come in every day. It became my day job as I had quit my regular paying job…So many people told me to close shop, count my loss and even operate solely online….but that was not an option for me, as an online store was always meant to compliment Mosé physical retail space ”. Her resilience has finally paid off.

The Omonomosé-in-Chief wants to revolutionize beauty retail in Africa. She is set to create a world class beauty retail chain of stores housing both international and African brands. The Mosé Store seeks to be the go-to store for beauty products, particularly for specially curated African Brands.
