Patrick Ayanski came to Nigeria as a UK millinery company called Milliner Warehouse in the mid-2000s and began the process of market penetration. In the beginning, the business was unexpectedly slow and it became painfully obvious over time that there was a very low demand for millinery items in the market, however, during the process of conducting market research, a glaring gap came to light. Top designers of the era were lambasting the quality of zips available in the market and lamenting on the headaches that this need was causing them.
Into the fray stepped Patrick Ayanski who introduced Cremalleras Rubi zips to the Nigerian market in 2006. With their line of high quality reliable and dependable zips, the power of word-of-mouth took hold and it took little to no time before the creme de la creme designers of the day such as Lanre Dasilva Ajayi, Tiffany Amber, Lisa Folawiyo, ODEVA, Jewel by Lisa, Odio Mimonet and much more came calling and became regular customers. In 2006, trimmings were also introduced and therefore became the first major products of Patrick Ayanski likewise Rubi Zips.
Blings by Patrick Ayanski was launched in 2010, Ayanski Fabrics Limited UK in 2013 and then Aso-Oke by Ayanski in 2016 (discontinued in 2020). Today, we stand our ground in the market as a distributor for Ayanski Fabrics, retailers of loose crystals, zips, motif sheets and now expanding into the world of Finance.
