Kenike is a Nigerian fashion brand committed to making high-quality, stylish clothing accessible and affordable for women. The brand was born out of the desire to provide modern, fashionable pieces that resonate with millennial, style-conscious women, particularly in Nigeria, where Tammy recognized a gap in the market for youthful, trendy clothing.
The name Kenike is rooted in Yoruba culture, drawn from the rich tradition of Oriki—a poetic form of praise and identity. Inspired by the oriki Ajoke and Anike, belonging to Tammy, our CEO, and a close family member, Kenike represents the fusion of personal legacy and cultural pride.
This connection to heritage is at the heart of everything we do, from our designs to the experiences we create. Kenike is not just a clothing brand—it’s a homage to Yoruba culture and a celebration of authenticity, individuality, and timeless style.
