One name.
Two brothers.
Alex Folzi carries one brother’s name and the other brother’s craft. “Alex” is Fola’s name; “Folzi” was his nickname. Twin brothers Fola and Fela Fagbure founded the house in 2010, and the years since split them down two paths: Fola stayed with style and the life around it, Fela went deep into technology and built IT Custom Solution. The new Alex Folzi is those two paths meeting again.
The house
It began as a menswear line with a fixation the fashion press noticed early: vintage cut, clean line, clothes that fit like they were meant. Founded on the first day of 2010 and incorporated in Vancouver that spring, the house earned its first write-ups within months, covered from Lagos to Toronto as a young label with old-school standards. Fola set the taste; the collections carried his eye.
Covered by BellaNaija, CP-Africa, and the style press of the era.
The craft
The house grew into leather: briefcases, suitcases, trunks. Objects built on the same conviction as a good garment, that proportion is everything and shortcuts show. Alex Folzi pieces shipped from Vancouver to Australia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, China, India, and the Philippines.
Classic goods, deliberately out of step with fast fashion.
The question
While the house built its craft, the brothers built two different masteries. Fola lived inside style: collections, leather, the discipline of proportion. Fela crossed into technology and founded IT Custom Solution, engineering software for governments and enterprises. Two educations, sixteen years long, that turned out to be halves of one answer.
Every good tailor starts with a form of the client, measured and trusted. The question the brothers kept returning to: why does that instrument exist in every atelier, and not in anyone’s hand?

Then: cut, cloth, and leather. Now: the same standard, measured. What the house once fit by hand, the instrument fits by evidence.
The return
In 2026 the house returns as an instrument, and the brothers return as one team: Fola’s eye for style and lifestyle, Fela’s years of engineering through IT Custom Solution. A guided phone scan designed to produce measurement estimates with the confidence of each value shown, once a production provider is configured. A wardrobe you photograph once and keep. Garment templates, from wedding dress to suit, derived from that base when it exists. Honest to a fault, because that is what the name has meant since 2010.
Fela · Fola
Style and engineering. One house.
