Maison Vex Luxury Boutique Expands to New York City Under the Leadership of Aisha Bello Ibrahim

Maison Vex Luxury Boutique, one of Nigeria’s foremost destinations for international and African fashion, is expanding its presence beyond Africa with the launch of a new outlet in New York City, USA.

Founded on September 18, 2011, Maison Vex has grown into a household name in Abuja, where it is located at 42B Libreville Crescent, Wuse 2. Over the years, the boutique has built a reputation for curating some of the world’s most iconic luxury labels, including Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino, and Balmain.

In addition to global brands, Maison Vex is equally committed to promoting African creativity, stocking designers such as Veekee James, Boriah Couture, Veranora Couture, Nini Fashion, Nova BLVD by Oma, Utterspace Luxury Fashion, Glowtarz House of Vogue, Vereux Stitches, JS Couture, Prudential, and Agbons-GL. This dual focus has made Maison Vex a cultural bridge between Africa and the global fashion industry.

New York Expansion

The decision to expand to New York City reflects the boutique’s ambition to position itself as a leading international fashion destination. New York, widely regarded as one of the world’s fashion capitals, offers Maison Vex a strategic platform to connect African designers with global audiences while also deepening its relationship with established international fashion houses.

Speaking on the expansion, the founder and chief executive officer, Aisha Bello Ibrahim, noted that the move represents a new chapter in the brand’s journey.

“Maison Vex has always been about more than retail—it’s about giving clients access to authentic luxury experiences while celebrating creativity from both Africa and the wider world. Expanding to New York allows us to share this vision on a global scale,” she said.

A Decade of Excellence

Since its establishment, Maison Vex has been recognized for its exclusive collections, personalized shopping experiences, and commitment to authenticity. Under Aisha Bello Ibrahim’s leadership, the boutique has grown from a single Abuja outlet into a brand with international recognition.

The New York opening positions Maison Vex as not only a Nigerian success story but also a symbol of Africa’s growing influence in global luxury retail.
