Everything you're probably wondering
A clear starting point for buying, selling, delivery, accounts, and orders on African Kouture.
Buying
What can I buy on African Kouture?
Ready-to-wear pieces, traditional and occasion wear, accessories, footwear, and made-to-order or bespoke tailoring from independent Nigerian fashion houses. Availability, sizing, and customisation options are set individually by each fashion house.
How do I pay?
Checkout supports major Nigerian payment methods including card and bank transfer through licensed local payment processors. Prices are shown in Nigerian Naira (NGN) by default, with other currencies available for reference.
How do custom or bespoke orders work?
Where a fashion house offers custom sizing, the product page or booking flow will collect standard measurements for the intended wearer. Production timelines for made-to-order and bespoke pieces are longer than ready-to-wear and are set by the fashion house handling the order.
Delivery
Do you deliver outside Lagos, and outside Nigeria?
Fulfilment options depend on the fashion house — local delivery, nationwide shipping within Nigeria, and international shipping are all supported where a fashion house offers them. Available options and estimated timing are shown at checkout.
Selling
How do fashion houses get paid?
African Kouture collects payment at checkout and pays out to fashion houses on a regular schedule, less the platform's commission, once an order is confirmed complete.
