CURVY GIRLS ROCK! Toolz unveils lingerie line for plus size women [Photos]
Popular on-air personality, Tolu Oniru-Demuren, popularly known as Toolz, has officially launched her lingerie line for plus size women.
Toolz announced her latest feat on her social media handles on Wednesday. The lingerie line is called Sablier, which is French for an hourglass.
Toolz, who reflected on her experience while growing up as a curvy woman spoke about the challenges of accepting her body shape and encouraged plus size women to also do so.
The voluptuous OAP said a huge part of her personal journey was finding clothing, lingerie and apparel options that catered specifically to her needs as a curvy woman.
She also said she wanted to take on the challenge of providing comfortable but attractive options for plus-size African women who struggle with finding brands that cater to them.
She wrote,
“Super excited to announce that I’ve just launched Sablier – a premium lingerie line for fuller bust women.
It took a few years of blood, sweat and tears, but so thankful to God that it’s finally here!
“A huge part of my personal journey was finding clothing, lingerie and apparel options that catered specifically to my needs as a curvy woman. I didn’t find a lot of options in Nigeria, and most often would shop when I travelled. It’s only natural that I take on the challenge of providing comfortable but attractive options for plus-size African women who struggle with finding brands that cater to them.”
“Our sizes are from 34D and go up to 42J (for now).
“The journey to accepting my body hasn’t been easy. As a curvy girl, you tend to feel out of place – my body type wasn’t the hot thing back then. I just didn’t fit in,” she said.
“I want ladies, irrespective of their size or body types, to be confident and love themselves, and essentially embrace their beautiful, because beauty is from within and is not dependent on what society dictates.”
Her colleagues and friend also took to their Instagram page to celebrate the OAP. Not one to be left out, her hubby, Captain Demuren celebrated his wife and showered praises on her for taking the bold step.
Before her lingerie line launch, Toolz took a course in lingerie and swimwear design at the prestigious and award-winning London College of Fashion.
