The Roots of Lagos – A Legacy of Resilience

Two Three Four Tribe, 

Following the brand launch and the launch of the signature Tribal Collection last month, this month we celebrate the vibrant history and culture that shapes our beloved Nigeria.  Let us take a moment to reflect on an event that forever changed the course of our nation’s journey: the British annexation of Lagos on September 30, 1861.

This pivotal moment in our history marked the beginning of Lagos’ transformation from a coastal kingdom into one of Africa’s most dynamic and influential cities and indeed the Mega City it is today. While it signaled the start of British colonial rule, it also sparked the resilience, creativity, and strength that define Lagos and its people today.

At Two Three Four, we honor this legacy. Our fashion is more than just clothing; it’s a celebration of our shared history, a tribute to our heritage, and a bold statement of the future we are building together. Just as Lagos stood tall in the face of change, our collections reflect beauty, diversity, and power of what is possible when we do not give up.

For us at 234, fashion is not just about what you wear; it’s about expressing your roots, your pride, and your identity. Lagos, often referred to as the “City of Excellence,” embodies the drive for progress while never forgetting its past. Just as Lagos evolved from its annexation in 1861 to becoming the economic powerhouse of Africa, our brand aims to channel that same energy into every piece we create.

Each stitch represents the resilience of our ancestors, their fight for independence, and the spirit of unity that propels us forward.

In commemorating this historical event, we invite you to stand with us in celebrating the rich tapestry of our culture. Explore our “Tribal Collection” collection and wear pieces that honor not only the legacy of Lagos but also the strength and creativity that pulses through every corner of the mother land.

Let your fashion tell a story – a story of resilience, pride, and forward momentum.

Thank you for being a part of the 234Tribe journey. Together, we are not just wearing history; we are making it.
