In a dazzling display of artistic fervour and sartorial elegance, the 30s Store unveiled its doors to the world on September 15th, 2023, at the prominent address of 12a Fola Osibo Street, Lekki, Lagos. This much-anticipated launch marked the beginning of a remarkable journey for young creatives and Nigerian brands alike, as they embarked on a mission to showcase their talents to a global audience.
The 30s Store, a concept store that seamlessly combines fashion, art, craft, and design, is more than just a retail space; it is a canvas for the imagination and a haven for creative souls. Housing a carefully curated selection of 13 Nigerian brands, including Ugomonye, Emmykasbit, Mancave Clothing, Trax Apparel, Pettretaylor, Champcapsule, Stillbrokeofficial, and Add Ey_D_Designer, this store has quickly become a sanctuary for innovation and individual expression.
Founder Anderson Edewor, speaking passionately about the project, expressed the ambitious vision behind the 30s Store. "The end goal for us is to establish pop-up and flagship stores across the US and Europe, too," he said. "We aim to find the best way to scout creatives locally and export their talents globally." With this grand launch, they have taken their first steps toward realising this vision, just nine months into their remarkable journey.
But what truly sets the 30s Store apart is its unwavering commitment to inclusivity. As Edewor emphasized, "We are a platform that supports all types of creators, so our doors are open to everyone creative." This ethos is at the heart of the store's mission, making it a place where innovation knows no bounds and where artists of all backgrounds are welcomed with open arms.
The grand unveiling event was nothing short of spectacular, with attendees immersed in a world of creativity and inspiration. Guests had the opportunity to explore the meticulously designed space, adorned with the finest creations from Nigeria's emerging talents. It was an enchanting evening that celebrated not just fashion, but the very essence of artistic expression.

With its unique blend of fashion, art, craft, and design, this concept store has already carved a niche for itself in the vibrant tapestry of Lagos's creative scene.
The grand unveiling of the 30s Store was not just an event; it was a declaration of Nigeria's boundless creative potential. It marked the beginning of a new chapter in the world of fashion and design, one where young talents are nurtured, celebrated, and given the opportunity to shine on the global stage.
