Brand Story;
Arewatees was launched in 2016 by Samuel Okopi, our founder and creative director, with a
vision to promote peace in Northern Nigeria which had been plagued for years by an
insurgency and religious tensions.
Our first design was a call for a Spirit of Oneness among thousands of Nigerians from various
ethnic groups that were living, studying, working, or doing business in Northern Nigeria.
The explosive success of that very first design led to a much broader vision to promote a
lifestyle of peaceful coexistence not only in Northern Nigeria but all over the world.
Every piece of apparel and accessory from Arewatees tells a story of peace and serves as a reminder that peace can exist anywhere and be spread through creative designs. We are
empowering both young and old with our culturally iconic designs, to express themselves
while making a difference.
