Our story
From a container on the roadside to a shop people travel for.
012010
One shipping container, in Buea.
The fashion house opened out of a single container. Small stock, careful buying, and customers who came back because what they bought lasted.
022010 – 2020
A decade of buying trips across West Africa.
Nigeria, Ghana, Togo and Benin, several times a year. Our COO picks every line herself, which is why the rails don't look like everybody else's.
03Today
A modern boutique, dressing clients at home and abroad.
Same buying discipline, proper shop. Weddings, launches and everyday wardrobes, priced fairly because we buy direct.
Moments we dress
Weddings, launches, everyday style.
The full range
Everything on the rails, and behind the counter.
Stocked in person on buying trips across West Africa, so the range does not look like everybody else's.

How to order
Whether you are in Buea or not.
- 01
Come in, or send a message
The boutique is on Chief Street in Bomaka. If you are not in Buea, tell us what you are after over WhatsApp and we will send photographs of what is on the rails.
- 02
We check the stock
If we have it, you can have it that day. If we do not, we will tell you rather than sell you something close enough.
- 03
We source what we do not hold
Our COO travels to Nigeria, Ghana, Togo and Benin several times a year. Specific requests go on the list for the next trip, and we tell you roughly when to expect it.
- 04
We ship to you
We serve clients across Cameroon and abroad. Tell us where it is going and we will arrange getting it there.
Common questions
What customers ask us.
Yes. A good share of our customers are elsewhere in Cameroon or abroad. Send a message describing what you want, we will send photographs of what we hold, and we will arrange delivery once you have chosen.
Usually. Our COO buys in person across West Africa several times a year, so specific requests can go on the list for the next trip. We will give you an honest idea of timing rather than a date we cannot keep.
We sell what we buy and we describe it accurately. Come in and look at a piece, or ask us for detailed photographs before you commit. We would rather lose a sale than have you feel misled.
Regularly. Weddings, launches, traditional ceremonies and everyday wardrobes. Come in with the date and we will work through what suits the occasion and the budget.
Yes, including Bamileke and Bamenda traditional markings, alongside African wears, senator wears and imported gowns.
The boutique trades Tuesday to Saturday, 8am to 7pm WAT, and is closed Sunday and Monday. If you are coming a distance, message ahead and we will tell you what is on the rails before you travel.
We buy direct on our own trips rather than through middlemen, which is what keeps the prices fair. The range is wide on purpose: the watches run from Casio to Rolex, and the rails run the same way.
