Rapha and Yinka Ilori Launch London-to-Lagos Cycling Collection

Rapha has partnered with British-Nigerian artist and designer Yinka Ilori MBE, known as the "Architect of Joy," for an exclusive members-only collection. The line, titled "London to Lagos," draws on Ilori's dual heritage and features West African symbols like hibiscus, the Yellow Trumpet Flower, and palm motifs. Ilori described cycling as a formative experience of freedom and community. The collection includes jerseys, bib shorts, caps, socks, tees, and a sticker pack, with prices ranging from £15 to £250. It continues Rapha's tradition of artist collaborations, following partnerships with David Carson, Kelly Anna, and others. Rapha, founded in London in 2004, operates 18 Clubhouses and runs over 4,000 rides annually. Ilori, a graduate of London Metropolitan University, was appointed a Royal Designer for Industry in 2025 and launched the Yinka Ilori Foundation the same year.
