Recap: the Buntu pop-up in Lagos

Two days, dozens of brands and one community celebration — the highlights and what's next.

Two days. Forty-seven brands. More than two thousand visitors. The Buntu pop-up in Lagos was, by any honest measure, the most fun we've had as a team this year.

What stood out wasn't the numbers — it was the conversations. Founders meeting their customers face to face. Creators discovering brands they'd only seen on their feeds. Shoppers walking out with bags they'd been eyeing online for weeks.

We're already planning the next one, and this time we're going bigger. If you'd like to host a Buntu pop-up in your city, write to us — we'd love to hear from you.
