Our Story

My name is Sunday Akinbiyi, founder & CEO of Unique African Boutique, and my journey to Unique African Boutique began when I left Nigeria in 1979 and came here to the United States.  As a native Nigerian, wearing unique African clothing is part of who I am, but here in the States it was a struggle for me to find African clothes to buy.

By the time I finally found a store in Miami that sold African clothing, I discovered the pieces weren’t authentically made in Africa and the quality in material and craftmanship just wasn’t there.

I knew there had to be a better way to find pieces that expressed my Nigerian heritage, so I decided to travel to Africa and have my own pieces made.

I came back to the States with about 20 one-of-a-kind authentically crafted pieces from Africa and decided to start my own store.  I wanted to provide unique, quality African pieces for other natives looking for authentic clothing, just like I’d been.  I honestly didn’t think the store was going to last, but when God has a plan, He has a PLAN.

Almost immediately after opening my store’s doors, people started bringing things from every part of African right to my store. Within six months, I had a store filled with unique pieces that my customers loved.

Since then, Unique African Boutique has grown into a beautiful collection of authentic clothing, jewelry, accessories and art that are made with the highest quality from artisans in Africa.  What you get from Unique African Boutique, you can’t get from anywhere else.  Our entire collection is made up of one-of-a-kind pieces that promote the culture, music and lifestyle of Africa, with care for the artisans, their families, and their livelihood.

As I look back on the journey of Unique African Boutique, I feel humbled and blessed by God for allowing me the opportunity to have a store that represents my heritage and gives the world a front row seat to the beauty of Africa.
