03 — The Brand

Where Craftsmanship Meets Legacy

LAAK RICHARD BRANDS was born from a powerful creative partnership — the union of Mina Gbemisola Laak and Richard Laak. Founded by Mina Gbemisola Laak (1990–2025) and Richard Laak, LAAK RICHARD BRANDS redefines African luxury with handcrafted designs, refined silhouettes, and timeless artistry.

What started humbly has become Africa’s leading luxury apparel and footwear house, celebrated for its limited-edition collections, refined silhouettes, and timeless artistic direction.

Her legacy, carried forward

The MGL2390 Series

In 2025, the brand faced a heartfelt loss with the passing of co-founder Mina Gbemisola (1990–2025) — the creative force behind the LRTBM line’s top-selling products.

To honor her brilliance, the MGL2390 Series was born: a luxury collection of jackets and loafers crafted with immersive detail and soulful precision. Each piece carries her birth year, 2390, symbolizing eternal creativity and the legacy she leaves behind.
