Lagos Showed Up and Showed Out 

In true Lagos fashion, the vibes were high and the creativity was unmatched. This month’s Folklore Brand Mixer in Lagos brought together some of the most exciting designers, founders, and entrepreneurs from across the African fashion ecosystem.

From real-talk conversations about scaling global brands to collaborations sparked over cocktails, it was a night that proved once again: when The Folklore community comes together, magic happens.

D.C. Delivered the Energy 

At our D.C. Brand Mixer held at Nīche by Nubian Hueman, creatives and innovators gathered to build new connections, share their brand stories, and discover fresh opportunities.

It wasn’t just about networking — it was about creating a space where bold ideas, global dreams, and local excellence could meet.

Dropping Gems at the Social Media Marketing Webinar 

No gatekeeping here. Our Social Media Marketing Webinar gave small brands and entrepreneurs real-world strategies for growth, directly from experts who’ve done it.

We broke down how to crack the TikTok algorithm, build loyal Instagram communities, and leverage Pinterest for product discovery — with advice tailored for small teams and emerging brands. If scaling your brand through digital marketing is on your radar, stay tuned for our next webinar (you’ll want to have your notes ready).

From Africa to Everywhere: Building a Global Brand with The Folklore
