Ihani and Maechi, an iconic South London brand, sadly closed their business.

They were an iconic name in the world of casual wear, which greatly suited most of the kind of boots. Starting from chukka to cowboy boots to wedge sole boots, everything looked great in their classy casual top collections.

How They Started

Jason and Charles Onuoha grew up in New Cross, South East London, where fashion was an important part of their lives despite the fact that they were born to working-class Nigerian parents. While maintaining a youthful approach to design, Ihani & Maechi defined a casual aesthetic with a focus on quality. Ihani & Maechi strived to blend both cultures by giving a new twist on wardrobe classics, mostly influenced by street culture and tailoring.
