Brand Overview

Alara Lagos - Best Luxury African Concept Store & Cultural Destination in Victoria Island Alara Lagos is the most iconic and celebrated luxury concept store in Africa, located at 12A Akin Olugbade Street, Victoria Island, Lagos. Founded in 2014 by visionary Nigerian entrepreneur Reni Folawiyo and housed in a breathtaking architectural masterpiece designed by world-renowned Ghanaian-British architect Sir David Adjaye, Alara Lagos is far more than a retail store. It is a living, breathing cultural institution that has fundamentally redefined what luxury shopping, art, and lifestyle mean in Africa. With 65,000 Instagram followers, 449 posts, features in Vogue, Essence Magazine, and Business of Fashion, and a listing among the world's best concept shops by GQ in 2022, Alara Lagos is one of the most globally recognised and respected luxury destinations on the African continent.

The Alara Lagos building is an architectural promenade in itself, featuring a stunning nine-metre-high rectangular volume with a series of suspended platforms, staircases, and landings that ascend through the space, displaying curated objects of art, fashion, furniture, and design in an exhibition-style retail environment unlike anything else in Nigeria. The glazed rooftop terrace connects the space visually back to the city of Lagos, offering a breathtaking 360-degree perspective from one of Victoria Island's most beautifully designed rooftop spaces. Every corner of Alara Lagos communicates a deep and genuine love for African creativity, craftsmanship, and cultural pride.
