LAURENTS' UNDERWEAR REBRANDS + OPENING HOUSE SALES.

One of Nigeria's most exotic lingerie and underwear stockists - LAURENTS UNDERWEAR has begun its rebranding campaign which involved the creation of a new logo, identity and a new outlet in the heart of AFRICA's beauty capital; LAGOS. The shop opening is accompanied with a whooping 50% sales slash.

LAURENTS UNDERWEAR, a highly recognized name when it comes to stoking the most reliable Brands in the underwear factory. The LAURENTS range boasts of the most exotic multi-dimensional undergarments from the best Brands worldwide. The strength of the Brand lies in the diverse range of high profile Brands and professional ethics which it avails both the male and female genre.

Laurent’s Underwear has become a Brand synonymous with the most avant-garde definitions of exotic style which is reflected in the reputation of Brands it stocks. The Brand’s unisex offering only increases its appeal as very few Brands cater to the increasing needs of both sexes, as the wardrobe essentials of Negligees, lingerie, boxers, and sleep wears. Laurents Underwear recognizes that style is about a timeless confidence which can only be achieved by a holistic attention to the personal essentials which play a most important role in achieving the extra-ordinary, hence the dedication to collecting only the finest underwear from the best Brands in the world.

Every woman's dream is to achieve that flawless, glowing radiant skin. Couvrez organic skincare bridges the gap between the desire and the accomplishment of these dreams.

Perhaps the most apt description for the Brand is: Nigeria’s First Body Shop!
Couvrez Organic Skincare is a natural organic skincare company that specializes in producing natural & organic skincare products for the Nigerian woman on the go.

The name Couvrez which is coined from the French word Decouvrez which means discover is reflective of their vision to take the normal woman on a journey of beauty rediscovery. The Brand’s goal is dedicated to inspiring a healthy lifestyle through the creation of innovative Natural & Organic skin and body care products.

Couvrez’s natural skin care product lines are oriented towards plant and mineral ingredients from our gorgeous green earth; these ingredients are often referred to as botanical-based. These natural and organic skin care products focus on stimulating cell growth and rejuvenating the skin, by thoroughly cleansing, gently toning and moisturizing. Deep cleansing of the skin is important, but should be done using natural ingredients the skin quickly recognizes to ensure absorption & avoidance of stripping the skin of its natural oils.

In line with their philosophy to provide 100% organic skincare products to their Clients, Couvrez would be administering free skin consults at the event with a view to teaching ladies how to achieve the flawless, beautiful skins they deserve.
