Our Brand Story

Legit Riches is a California-based contemporary streetwear brand built to inspire confidence, founded by Michael in 2013. Born in Lagos and raised between two cultures, Michael's earliest creative expressions lived in sketches, cardboard ideas, and bold fashion influences passed down from his mother.

What started as a college passion project—designing pieces for friends and campus events—grew into a vision to create timeless, luxury-inspired garments that reflect authenticity and personal heritage.

The Royalty Varsity Collection represents that shift. Each piece is designed with meaning, merging Lagos roots with Oakland influence to create silhouettes that feel personal yet universal.

At Legit Riches, we use fashion as a form of storytelling and self-ownership. Our mission is to empower individuals to stand tall, embrace their identity, and wear their journey with pride.

Through every collection, we speak to a community that values boldness, culture, and the courage to redefine themselves. This is more than clothing. This is Legit Riches.

This evolution revealed a gap in the market: elevated streetwear with intention, cultural depth, and premium craftsmanship. The Royalty Varsity Collection represents that shift. Each piece is designed with meaning, merging Lagos roots with Oakland influence to create silhouettes that feel personal yet universal.
