About Us

Where Culture Meets Couture

OST Stitches is a fashion house rooted in heritage and designed for the world. What began in 2015 as Olasimi Couture in the heart of Lagos, Nigeria, has blossomed into a globally inspired brand dedicated to merging the richness of African culture with modern fashion sensibilities.

From the start, our mission has been clear: to celebrate African textiles, craftsmanship, and creativity through bold, elegant, and versatile garments. Under the Olasimi Couture label, we proudly dressed thousands of clients – men, women, and children – for weddings, corporate events, festivals, and everyday expression. Over the years, the love for our unique designs grew beyond Nigeria’s borders.

In 2024, we took a bold step forward – launching our UK branch under the name OST Stitches. This new chapter marks more than just a change in location. It reflects our vision to reach diverse markets across the UK and Europe, offering African-inspired fashion to a broader audience. OST Stitches remains deeply connected to its roots, but with a renewed commitment to innovation, inclusion, and global appeal.

  Mission Statement

At OST Stitches, our mission is to celebrate    and elevate African culture through fashion that fuses heritage with modern elegance. We design bold, inclusive, and ethically made garments that empower individuals to express identity, pride, and creativity across every season and continent.

  Vision Statement

We envision a world where African-inspired fashion leads the global style narrative. OST Stitches aspires to become a leading Afrocentric fashion brand across the UK, Europe, and beyond, shaping trends, breaking barriers, and weaving culture into every stitch.
