I had to invent and make a Hand bag out of a Spar shopping bag, the day I ran out of Yarns- CEO KEZA CRAFT
By Kemi Mobuse - Friday, August 25, 2017
Coming across this beautiful Bag on Facebook was a Wow! factor for me, It was obviously unique and I already fell in love with it, you can imagine my shock therefore on reading further and I saw that the bag was made out of Nylon...Yes! you heard me right, Nylon, actually it's a spar shopping bag but shebi its still called Nylon for short , Hehe!
I had to give an imaginary salute to the brain behind this invention, I decided to stalk her page and see what else she is capable of, and lo and behold, my eyes met with a lot of beautiful products,...Awwwww! I fell in love with her talent....and I silently praised my God above, who deemed it fit to bestow upon this beautiful woman, such a great talent .
Mrs Sandra George Kalio had a little chit chat with me and told me more about her passion....Please Read on below...

Keza Craft: Both! Yes! It’s what I do for a living
Kemi Mobuse Blog: What made you decide to be a crocheter in the first place?
Keza Craft: At the time I was pregnant, And as an expectant mum I wanted to buy everything that will make my child look good and very unique, so I started searching till I stumbled on crocheted shoes, I was amazed and wanted to make them, so I started trying to make them coz I knew how to crochet way back in Secondary School, After then I went through some trainings so I could upgrade my skills.

Mobuse Blog: How can you say the market reception has been since inception?
Keza Craft: It’s been good so far but slow. We just need to educate people
more, so they could know the value of handmade products.
Kemi Mobuse Blog: Do you have a favourite among all your products?
Kemi Mobuse Blog: Do you have a favourite among all your products?
Keza Craft: I love Everything I have made. Each comes with a different
experience, so they all appeal to me as unique as they are. Please permit me to
say they are all my favorite.
Kemi
Mobuse Blog: Hmmmm!!! What can you say is your distinguishing factor from
other brands out there?
Keza Craft: I use the best and finest yarns, my patterns are selective and
I try as much as possible to interpret LOVE in each of my product coz that's
what they are made of.
Kemi
Mobuse Blog: I remember coming across one of your work on Facebook, it’s a spar
nylon, which you recycled, and turned into a beautiful bag, to say I was wowed
is an understatement, can I ask, what made you think it was going to turn out
that way, to even think it was possible?
Keza Craft: I had so many bags in my house that I
was literally using them to pack dirts, Then one beautiful day I had no yarn
and I decided to use the bags as I was itching to crochet something. I came up
with this...
So Instead of littering the streets of Port Harcourt with plastic bags please bring them to me.... I can recycle them.
