The Brand
Where Craftsmanship Meets Legacy

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.
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.

Every product is meticulously handcrafted in small batches — never more than seven units per region. This commitment ensures exclusivity, rarity, and a true luxury experience. Our celebrated bestsellers include:
- LRTBM King Slips — Everyday royalty
- LRTBM Queen Velvet — Smooth, elegant, regal
- LRTBM Road Grip — For the movers and conquerors
- Yoga Series — Lightweight, breathable, empowering
- MGL2390 Jackets & Loafers — A tribute to Mina’s lasting influence
