A MOVEMENT
Every nation is defined by its heritage, and every heritage finds expression in symbols, sounds, and stories. The Republic is not just a fashion brand – it is a movement, a cultural renaissance, and a living archive of Africa’s identity woven into fabric.
The journey of The Republic began not in boardrooms or fashion runways, but at the worktable of a woman who dedicated over twenty-five years of her life to the art of fashion design, a Mother, a teacher, and a creative matriarch. Her hands stitched dreams into fabric; her craft carried not just beauty but meaning. For decades, she clothed communities in garments that spoke of dignity, pride, and belonging.
Her legacy did not end with her. It sparked a vision in her son, Collins Osagie Omokaro, who saw fashion not only as attire but as a vessel for storytelling, identity, and progress. That vision grew into The Republic – a space where Africa’s past, present, and future converge through fabric, rhythm, and artistry.

our core beliefs
Fashion is Identity.Clothing is more than fabric; it is language. It speaks before we do. In The Republic, every cut, every weave, and every print carries echoes of ancient kingdoms, the wisdom of ancestors, and the boldness of warriors and queens. This is not just fashion—it is ancestry in every thread.
Community is Legacy. A Republic cannot exist without people. Beyond creating clothes, we create opportunities. Through our CSR initiatives, The Republic commits 5% of profits to support displaced communities, empower young creatives, promote sustainable green fashion, and uplift artisans whose hands preserve Africa’s heartbeat.
The path to this moment has not been without challenge. Setbacks tested our resolve. A court injunction attempted to pause our journey. But just like the African Phoenix, The Republic rose again—stronger, bolder, more purposeful. Because names may change, but legacies do not.
When the gates of The Republic open, they open not just to a store or a runway, but to an idea: that Africa’s prosperity lies in embracing its heritage, amplifying its culture, and wearing its identity with pride.
The Republic is where lions roar, drums beat, and fabrics speak history. It is where yesterday’s symbols become today’s fashion and tomorrow’s prosperity. It is where heritage meets innovation, and identity fuels creativity.
This is not just a brand. This is The Republic. And in The Republic, we wear our story.
