Bespoke women's fashion and handcrafted accessories inspired by Yoruba heritage and modern British elegance — made to celebrate you.
"Anike" (ah-NEE-keh) is a Yoruba name of West Africa meaning one who is loved, pampered and cared for — and that is precisely the promise behind every piece created under this name.
Founded by Oluyemisi Kehinde Omoru — known to her clients as Kay — Anike by Kay is a London-based luxury fashion label rooted in Nigerian heritage and shaped by decades of design passion. Kay brings a unique vision: that African textile traditions and contemporary British elegance are not competing forces, but natural partners.
Based in West Wickham, Bromley, the brand serves women across London who want fashion that is personal, meaningful and — above all — beautifully made.
Each collection draws from the rich textile traditions of Yoruba culture — bold patterns, vivid colours, luxurious fabrics — reinterpreted for the modern, confident woman.
Floor-length gowns and two-piece sets crafted in authentic aso-oke and ankara fabrics. Statement pieces for weddings, galas and celebrations.

Book a style sessionOluyemisi Kehinde Omoru — known to her clients as Kay — has spent a lifetime immersed in fabric, colour and the art of making women feel extraordinary. Born with a deep connection to Yoruba culture and its extraordinary textile heritage, Kay began creating pieces for family and friends before founding Anike by Kay as a celebration of that gift.
Based in West Wickham, Bromley, Kay operates from a studio space where every piece is cut, assembled and finished by hand. She combines authentic West African fabrics — sourced directly from Nigeria — with precise, couture-quality technique to create garments that are genuinely one of a kind.
Kay's philosophy is simple: every woman who comes to her deserves to feel like the most beautiful person in the room — not because of what she's wearing, but because of how what she's wearing makes her feel.
Every bespoke piece at Anike by Kay follows a personal, unhurried process — because your garment deserves as much care as the occasion it's made for.
We begin with a personal conversation — understanding your occasion, your style, your body and your vision. In person or online, we take our time to truly listen.
Kay creates sketches and selects fabrics — often sourced from West Africa — tailored to your vision. We present swatches, patterns and silhouettes for your approval.
Each piece is cut, hand-stitched and fitted personally by Kay. We hold fitting sessions to ensure every detail — seam, hem, drape — is exactly right.
The finished piece is delivered with the same care it was created. You leave looking and feeling precisely how you imagined — and probably better.
"Kay made my daughter's traditional wedding outfit and it was absolutely stunning. Every guest wanted to know who the designer was. She truly understood what we wanted and exceeded our every expectation."
"I had a bespoke ankara power suit made for a corporate dinner — the compliments have not stopped. Kay has a rare ability to make you feel both powerful and beautiful. I wear it every chance I get."
"The beaded earrings and matching bag Kay made for my birthday are treasured items in my collection. The craftsmanship is extraordinary and Kay herself is warm, kind and genuinely talented."
