Her product lineup ranges from backpacks, shoes, foldable wooden tables, diaries, tiffin box sleeves, accessories and much more. The idea to work towards the environment, was fed by her observations of the world she lived in. Looking at the planet turning into a wasteland, was something Adejoke wanted to stop from happening. Hence, she took the craft of weaving to another level, with an idea to create sustainable fashion. While, Adejoke has been a source of inspiration for people around her, she has been spreading the knowledge through a class of students that she trains.
