When Bayo met Jade in their second year at the University of Lagos in 1992, neither could have imagined where life would take them.
Bayo, the civil servant's son from Ikotun. Jade, the daughter of a General from Ikoyi. Two worlds, one city—and the beginning of a journey that would span decades.
Twenty years into their marriage, Jade gifted Bayo FC Accessories' 3-in-1 Molue, Danfo & Yellow Taxi Cufflinks for their anniversary. That evening, Bayo wore the Molue pair to dinner. On their drive back to their Banana Island home in a Range Rover Autobiography, Jade gently stroked his wrist and touched the cufflinks.
And in that moment, Bayo was taken back to where it all began.
From Ikotun to Ikoyi.
That journey is FITI.
FITI Lagos is a celebration of Lagos through history, culture and the icons that have shaped its story. At its heart are the three that have borne witness to generations of Lagosians: the Molue, Danfo and Yellow Taxi, alongside other unmistakable landmarks and symbols: the National Theatre, Tafawa Balewa Square, the Marina skyline, the Three White-Cap Chiefs who welcome you to Lagos, the Lekki-Ikoyi Bridge, and more.
Originally conceived as a 17-piece collection, FITI is a growing canvas of Lagos stories, with possibilities far beyond its first chapter.
Because Lagos is more than a place.
It is a journey. A memory. An identity.
And with the FITI Lagos Collection, you take Lagos with you wherever in the world you go.
