The product
A fashion store built for how Nigerian customers actually buy
Payment by bank transfer is the Nigerian default. Pre-ordering items before they land is a common buying pattern. Nationwide delivery to Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt. WhatsApp as a customer service channel. These weren't edge cases to accommodate — they were the core design constraints.
The Bold Street design system — warm off-white canvas, dark ink, and a single hot-orange accent — was designed to feel premium and distinctive without being inaccessible.
