For over two decades, the name Qbeescloset has been whispered in the circles of Nigeria’s most discerning fashion enthusiasts as a beacon of rarity and refined taste.
What began twenty-five years ago as a visionary virtual concierge service—meticulously sourcing the world’s most elusive luxury pieces for a private clientele—has finally found its permanent home.
Founded by the veteran curator Bola Coker, the brand’s evolution from a digital pioneer to a physical landmark represents a homecoming for a community built on trust, authenticity, and an uncompromising eye for timeless elegance.
The transition was formally immortalized during an intimate, star-studded dinner at FAME Lagos, Purple Mall, Lekki, where the air was thick with the scent of fine dining and the rustle of high-end designer wear.
Hosted by media personality Stephanie Coker, the evening was far more than a store opening; it was a curated sensory experience that mirrored the brand’s core values.
Guests were welcomed on the red carpet by fashion commentator Birkinboy, setting a tone of elevated glamour that transitioned seamlessly into a night of heartfelt toasts and deep connection among the brand’s longest-standing supporters.
At the heart of the celebration was a poignant message of gratitude from Bola Coker, who reflected on the twenty-five-year journey that transformed her passion for curation into a premier luxury destination.
She emphasized that while the store is new, the foundation remains the personal touch and “intentional luxury” that Qbeescloset has always championed.
The physical space now serves as a sanctuary where clients can interact with both brand-new treasures and pre-loved icons, supported by the brand’s signature authentication expertise that has made it a trusted name in a complex global market.
The night reached its crescendo with a moment that perfectly encapsulated the brand’s penchant for the extraordinary: the live drawing of a Birkin 35 raffle.
In a touching display of family legacy, Coker’s daughter drew the winning ticket, awarding the legendary Hermès piece to Bunmi Badmus.
As the evening wound down with desserts and informal mingling, it became clear that Qbeescloset’s move to a physical destination isn’t just about retail—it is about creating a living room for Lagos’s luxury community, where the history of fashion meets the excitement of the future.
The evening concluded with desserts, drinks, and informal mingling, allowing guests to connect in an unhurried setting while reflecting on the year past and looking ahead to what’s next for the brand.
The dinner served as a fitting celebration of the official store launch and a year defined by growth, bold fashion moments, and community.
