About us

LEKAN AARE is more than a fashion brand – it is a tribute to Yoruba nobility, heritage, and modern African excellence. Founded by designer Lekan Folarin, the label takes inspiration from the grandeur of Yoruba kingship and the Ojude Oba festival, translating regal tradition into clean tailoring, sharp silhouettes, and contemporary elegance.

Every garment is ethically produced in Nigeria, where skilled artisans merge time-honored techniques with modern design. Embroidery, beadwork, and handwoven Aso-Ofi panels celebrate culture while offering timeless luxury for today’s generation.

Our Philosophy
We believe clothing is not only an expression of style but also a preservation of history and identity. Each collection tells a story of legacy, power, and cultural pride.

Our Values

• Craftsmanship: Every stitch is intentional, every detail symbolic.

• Sustainability: Slow fashion made to last.

• Cultural Preservation: Designs rooted in Yoruba artistry.
