For Brands · Lagos → London
Helping Nigerian fashion brands sell seamlessly to diaspora customers.
Asofe provides UK fulfilment, local delivery, returns handling, and access to customers across the diaspora — so your atelier can sell internationally without shipping every order from Lagos.
How it works
From your atelier to her doorstep — in four steps.
Asofe is the infrastructure layer between your house in Lagos, Ibadan, or Abuja and a customer in London, Toronto, or New York. We move the cloth so you can keep cutting it.
01
Send inventory from Nigeria
Ship your collection to our consolidator in Lagos. We coordinate the freight and customs paperwork; you focus on the work.
02
We receive and store stock in the UK
Your pieces are inducted at our London fulfilment centre, photographed where needed, and listed against your brand on Asofe.
03
Customers order online
Diaspora and international shoppers buy from your house through Asofe — checkout in GBP, with local trust and familiar logistics.
04
We deliver and handle returns
Same-week delivery across the UK and a UK returns address. Refused or returned items are inspected and returned to stock.
Why sell with Asofe
The infrastructure of an international luxury house, without the overhead.
UK fulfilment support
Bonded storage and pick-and-pack in London. No more carrying inventory cost in your studio.
Access to diaspora shoppers
A curated marketplace and editorial reach into the UK, Ireland, and the wider African diaspora.
Faster customer delivery
Two-to-three day UK delivery on stocked items. International dispatch from a single hub.
Simplified international shipping
One consolidated route from Nigeria, customs and duties handled. You ship to us; we ship to her.
Returns handled locally
A UK returns address, inspection, and restock — the friction of cross-border returns disappears for the customer.
Secure payouts
GBP and NGN settlement, transparent reconciliation, paid out twice a month against verified orders.
The case for partnership
What changes the day you join.

UK returns
Customers return to a UK address, not the atelier
How payouts work
Plain commercials. Nothing buried.
Stripe collects payment from the customer in GBP. Asofe holds the funds, deducts a fixed commission, and pays you the net at the end of each month for orders that have settled (delivered, returns window closed).
Commission
30 %
Asofe's share covers UK fulfilment, payment processing, marketing, and platform operation. Designers receive 70 % of the gross price.
Payout cycle
Monthly
A statement on the 1st of each month for the previous month's settled orders. Manual transfer to your nominated account within 5 working days.
Refunds
Pro-rata
If a piece is returned, the refund is deducted from that month's statement at your unit price. You see every line in your dashboard.
Currency
GBP → your choice
Settled in GBP; we'll wire to NGN, USD or local currency. FX disclosed on each statement.
