Company Statement:
Virgos lounge is a vintage brand created by three Virgos, Fioye Akinsola, Oyeyemi Wemi-Akinsola and Adenike Ajanaku. Our aim is to supply our vast array of clientele classic vintage pieces. What sets us apart from others is the fact that some of our pieces have been altered to give a modern day and fashionable twist.

Graduated from Keele University with a dual degree in Human Resource Management and Business Administration, and is currently studying for a masters degree at LSE (London School of Economics).
