Okay, stop scrolling RIGHT NOW because WE need to tell you about OUR latest obsession! Have you ever heard of someone ditching pharmacy to create the most stunning handbags you've ever seen? Neither had we until we discovered Dorothy Ughenu and House of Dot.

From Prescriptions to Fashion? This Career Switch is Everything!

Picture this: you're filling prescriptions one day and the next you're designing jaw-dropping accessories that fashion editors can't stop talking about. That's literally Dorothy's story! She graduated from the University of Lagos with a degree in Pharmaceutical Science before taking the leap into fashion.

Trust us when we say her accessories are like nothing you've seen before. Each piece feels like Dorothy handed you a little piece of her soul wrapped in the most gorgeous leather. Her brand isn't just about making pretty things, it's a whole vision of African luxury that's sustainable, creative, and completely unique.

Meet Dorothy

The woman who is truly the definition of following your passion. When everyone else was playing it safe, Dorothy decided to create a luxury accessories brand instead.  Her collections draw inspiration from nature, shapes, colours, and Nigerian culture in ways that'll make you do a double-take.

Her handbags, belts, shoes, and leather goods aren't just accessories, they're conversation starters. Each piece tells a story that's both deeply personal and culturally significant. And the best part? Everything is hand-assembled in Nigeria using locally sourced leather. 

We love a sustainable queen!

The 'SJP' Box Bag

The bag that started it all! It is a structured handbag with intricate embellishments, Dorothy's signature when she launched House of Dot back in 2011. It's not just a bag; it's basically wearable art that screams "I have excellent taste!"

Since then, her collection has expanded into a full range of accessories, all with that distinctive House of Dot vibe, bold colors, unique shapes, and ethically made products. 

Each piece is as impactful as it is wearable, which is basically the fashion holy grail.

Faith, Vision, Purpose: The House That Dot Built

If you're looking for accessories that do more than just look pretty, House of Dot needs to be on your radar ASAP.

Dorothy has woven her values of faith, vision, and purpose into every piece she creates. Her work shows how African fashion can be meaningful, creative, and resilient all at once.

Listen, we’re not saying owning a House of Dot piece will change your life... but I'm not NOT saying it either. There's something magical about carrying an accessory made with such intention and heart.
