Uncategorized | October 2, 2009


L~Shandi Designs include a collection of fresh, innovative, wearable – whether day or evening, fashion must-haves.

The name L~Shandi is a short for “Lepa Shandi” which is Nigerian slang complimentary of a lady whose attire is fit, flattering and flawless. Lara was born and raised in Nigeria and her culture is evident in her collection. And, what a woman on the go! Lara is an entrepreneur/mother, juggling many roles and responsibilities.

Check out what Lara had to say and find a surprise that awaits you:

Tell us about the origins of L~Shandi fashions and what makes them unique?


L~Shandi Designs are inspired by my love for fabrics that are indigenous to the African market/fashion; my designs are unique in terms of the way I use the fabrics in my collection.







What products/ garments do you offer?
Women’s clothing and accessories.

What inspires you to create your collections?

I’m inspired by the beautiful fabric designs and colors.

What are your top fashion must haves for women on the go?

I think every woman should have a basic color ensemble in a color that is perfect for her skin color (by the way, it’s not always black!) and a personality piece (something that tells others about
you and your sense of style) like the 2 you see here.

How are you juggling a fashion line and being an entrepreneur?

I’m managing it with lots of planning and developing solid, long lasting relationships with my business associates.

Where can women purchase your designs?

My fashions can be purchased online or through the stores listed on my website

What’s next for L~Shandi? Are there new areas of fashion and beauty that you are exploring for a potential launch soon?
Yes, I am exploring designs in home decoration/accents that will be launched in 2009.


Tell us about the surprise you have for Petite Fashionista readers:

Qui Qui clutch handbags are the first manufactured with African Lace fabrics and are made to be “personality pieces” for women to pair up with their basic holiday ensembles and still stand out in the crowd.

The Qui Qui clutches are also great as gift items for others because you don’t have to worry about sizes like the clothing designs. Petite Fashionista readers can get additional 20% off a QuiQui clutch for the holidays.


For online orders, send an email from the website and mention “Lepa”.

I am having an online Post Labor Day Sale on select items from my collection throughout the month of October, 2009.
