The Best Fashion Boutiques In Lagos

Lagos is as passionate about custom-made clothes as it is about designer brands, accessories and shoes. Although most of these brands are pretty high-end and luxurious, the locals believe that choosing well-made fashion is important. There are several boutiques stocking both international and African designer brands and we’ve rounded up some of the best.

Alara

Alara Lagos is a concept store stocking everything from clothes to arts and accessories in its four-storey architectural marvel at Victoria Island, designed by Sir David Adjaye OBE. The brain-child of Reni Folawiyo, a design enthusiast who is dedicated to the celebration of African art, the store has been benchmarked against Colette (Paris), and London’s Dover Street Market for its quality mix of brands and excellent customer service. The first store in West Africa to officially retail names like Bottega Veneta, Yves Saint Laurent, Valentino and many more, it also stocks designs by designers Duro Olowu, Maki Oh and Loza Maléombho.
