Cee Cee’s Closet

Cee Cee’s Closet NYC was founded in 2015 by Nigerian-American sisters Chioma and Uchenna Ngwudo after recognizing a lack of accessible, contemporary African-inspired fashion and accessories in the U.S. market. What began with handbags and headwraps evolved into a lifestyle brand centered on celebrating African culture through fashion, beauty, and community. The brand is best known for its vibrant headwraps, apparel, jewelry, waist beads, and accessories inspired by West African textiles and design traditions. Over time, Cee Cee’s Closet expanded into clothing, body care, and home goods while maintaining its focus on cultural storytelling and representation. A core part of the company’s mission is supporting African artisans and makers. The founders have highlighted their commitment to sourcing fabrics and working with tailors and artisans in Nigeria, helping create economic opportunities while showcasing contemporary African fashion on a global stage. The brand has been featured by major media outlets and has built a loyal following through its celebration of Black culture, bold aesthetics, and empowering approach to fashion. Today, Cee Cee’s Closet NYC continues to operate as an independent lifestyle brand offering fashion, accessories, and beauty products designed to help customers express themselves confidently and authentically.
