Losode is a purpose-driven, technology enabled e-commerce platform that empowers underrepresented fashion founders and redefines the future of fashion through sustainability and innovation. We exist to dismantle systemic barriers in the global fashion industry by providing fashion entrepreneurs from marginalised communities with the tools, visibility, and infrastructure they need to thrive in a competitive global market, all while driving climate-conscious practices at every stage of the supply chain.

Our Story

Formally established in 2016, Losode operates across Nigeria, the UK, and the US. Our name, derived from the Yoruba phrase meaning "let us go to town" or "let us go out," reflects our mission to amplify African creativity, connect communities, and create meaningful economic opportunities. With deep roots in African heritage and global aspirations, our offerings combine the richness of tradition with contemporary style, enabling customers everywhere to experience the best of both worlds.

Inclusive: elevating women, youth, and underrepresented entrepreneurs

Sustainable: prioritising ethical labour, circular design, and climate action
