Karpos Shoes is a premium Nigerian leather goods brand renowned for crafting high-quality leather shoes, bags, and accessories. Proudly made in Nigeria, our expertly handcrafted leather products blend style, durability, and comfort, making Karpos Shoes a top choice for those seeking authentic Nigerian leather craftsmanship.

“I’ve always noticed when a pair of shoes just didn’t fit—not in size, but in style or soul. Even the right shoes often lacked the artistry they deserved. So we got to work. The deeper we went, the more excited we became about what one pair of shoes could become.”
— Kehinde, Co-founder, Karpos Shoes

The Karpos Story: Redefining Nigerian-Made Shoes

For many Nigerians, shoes are often the most overlooked part of an outfit – unless they’re flashy designer sneakers from overseas or gifted by relatives abroad.

But it’s not that people don’t care about shoes. The problem? Most locally made shoes in Nigeria have felt uninspired, underwhelming, or invisible. In a bid to earn credibility, many brands chose to mask their origin – hiding behind foreign-sounding names.

But not us.

At Karpos Shoes, we’re proud to be made in Nigeria. We believe you deserve a pair that not only turns heads – but tells a story. A pair that blends craftsmanship, durability, and modern design – without compromising identity.

That’s why we reimagined what it means to wear something truly local.

We began in 2016 with bespoke leather shoes. In 2017, we expanded into ready-to-wear collections, offering stylish everyday leather shoes handcrafted with precision.

Now, we’re going even further – with the launch of Patina: a new line that’s designed for style, built to last, and unapologetically Nigerian.

More Than Shoes – A Movement

From day one, Karpos Shoes have been about more than footwear. It’s about changing the perception of what it means to wear Nigerian-made leather and doing so with pride.

A movement has been building – and it’s here now.

Join us as we change the story of Made-in-Nigeria shoes – one handcrafted pair at a time.
