On February 15, 2017, the Nigerian fashion landscape welcomed a game-changer: Velluto Luxury Boutique, an upscale destination for discerning shoppers seeking global style in the heart of Lagos. The brainchild of visionary entrepreneur Sandra Amen Osasuwa, Velluto was conceived with a clear purpose to bring the world’s most iconic fashion houses to Nigeria in a space that exudes elegance, exclusivity, and personalized service.
Named after the Italian word for velvet, Velluto captures the essence of refined luxury and timeless fashion. Situated in one of Lagos’ most vibrant districts, the boutique quickly established itself as a go-to haven for fashion connoisseurs seeking curated excellence.
Velluto’s carefully selected portfolio features the crème de la crème of global designer labels, including:
- Louis Vuitton
- Gucci
- Chanel
- Dior
- Prada
- Balenciaga
- Hermès
- Fendi
- Saint Laurent
- Versace
- Hugo Boss
- Zegna
- Paul Smith
From iconic handbags to statement suits and couture fragrances, Velluto makes luxury fashion accessible locally — with the same caliber of service one would expect in fashion capitals like Paris, Milan, or New York.
At the heart of Velluto’s success lies its founder, Sandra Amen Osasuwa, whose passion for fashion and deep understanding of the luxury market fueled her mission to create a retail space unlike any other in Nigeria. Sandra’s vision goes beyond selling designer labels she set out to craft an experience, one that resonates with the modern, global Nigerian.
“My goal was to build a boutique that reflects international taste but is rooted in the elegance of our culture. Velluto is about offering more than fashion it’s about bringing a world-class experience home,” Sandra shares.
Her dedication to craftsmanship, innovation, and customer service has made Velluto a beacon for Nigeria’s elite and a growing number of fashion-forward tastemakers.
What truly distinguishes Velluto is the experience it curates for each guest. From personalized fittings to white-glove concierge services, Velluto reimagines luxury shopping as an immersive, thoughtful journey.
The boutique caters to both men and women across several categories:
- Designer ready-to-wear
- Leather goods & handbags
- Premium footwear
- Accessories & fragrances
- Seasonal capsule collections
Inside, the ambiance reflects the boutique’s aesthetic philosophy: minimalist design with rich details, creating a balance of intimacy and grandeur.

Since opening its doors, Velluto has quickly become a favorite among celebrities, executives, and high-style individuals who value authenticity, exclusivity, and sophistication. It’s more than a fashion destination — it’s a symbol of Nigeria’s growing influence in the global style conversation.
