Founded in 2009, TheAnkaraPlace Fashion Brand began as a dream to celebrate individuality through clothing. For over a decade, we offered bespoke and ready-to-wear services, proudly serving a myriad of vibrant, stylish customers who trusted us to bring their fashion visions to life.

As the brand grew and our vision expanded, we embraced a new identity in 2016, evolving into 1801 by Toyin — a name that reflects a broader, more inclusive approach to Afrocentric fashion. This rebranding allowed us to explore a wider range of luxurious fabrics, silhouettes, and styles, while staying true to our African roots.

Today, 1801 by Toyin stands as a full-fledged online ready-to-wear store, offering an exclusive collection of kaftans, palazzos, boubous, and dresses designed for the modern, stylish individual who values culture, comfort, and effortless elegance. Every piece we create is a celebration of heritage, creativity, and timeless style.

As part of our growth journey, we are proud to operate under a combination of trademarks — Store1801, TheAnkaraPlace, and TheAdirePlace — each representing a distinct facet of our commitment to authentic, Afrocentric fashion and lifestyle.

Our mission is simple: to make premium, Afro-inspired fashion accessible to individuals around the world, while upholding our tradition of quality craftsmanship and authentic expression. Every garment tells a story — and we are honored to be a part of yours.

Welcome to 1801 by Toyin — where culture meets style, effortlessly.
