The Crown Line
Adégbèmí (The Crown Supports Me) is not merely worn—it is borne, like inheritance. This robe belongs to the one who walks with lineage at his back, who knows that true power is not seized but entrusted. Draped in the sacred shade of forest green, Adégbèmí speaks with quiet strength. It does not shout for attention; it commands it—through stillness, through presence, through heritage.
At its heart lies a sacred geometry—embroidery rendered in matching thread, understated yet alive with spiritual intent. The motif evokes sacred flora and rooted symmetry drawn from Yoruba cosmology: leaves that point upward like ancestral prayers, lines that flow downward like divine instruction. The upper half flourishes with mirrored fullness, reflecting balance and grace; the lower half descends in solemn channels, grounding the robe in the weight of legacy. This is not adornment—it is a covenant sewn in thread.
The garment is constructed with ceremonial precision. The outer robe (awosókè) flows from the shoulders with sovereign grace—cut to create a strong silhouette with sweeping volume. Beneath, the awotele offers sculptural symmetry, tailored to frame the embroidery like a temple altar. The sokoto is cleanly tapered and built for movement—allowing its wearer to move through both ritual and realm without compromise.
Adégbèmí is not a costume. It is not nostalgia. It is a declaration—that the crown is not a burden, but a birthright.

Outer Robe (Awosókè):
Crafted from a premium cotton-rich blend, the outer robe drapes with both weight and flow. Its architecture echoes the ancestral presence of Yoruba kings, with mid-length sleeves and a just-below-the-knee drop that balances gravitas and mobility. The fabric’s structure ensures the folds fall with solemn precision, making every movement feel like ceremony.Inner Garment (Awotele):
The awotele is tailored to align seamlessly with the robe, matching its tone and form. The neckline is gently raised in a modern curve, serving as a visual pedestal for the embroidery. Its cut ensures comfort while anchoring the full look with quiet elegance.Trousers (Sokoto):
The sokoto completes the set with minimalist rigor—a clean straight-leg with subtle tapering and a concealed drawstring waist. Practical yet elevated, it ensures ease of motion without disrupting the robe’s majesty. -
Adégbèmí is made from a noble cotton-rich blend selected for its harmony of structure and softness. The fabric retains its sculptural silhouette while moving with breathability and grace. Its matte finish carries a reverent sheen—neither flashy nor flat, but dignified.
The embroidery is executed in a tone-on-tone forest green, creating a subtle depth visible only upon close attention—like wisdom whispered, not announced. Each stitch is part of a broader story, drawn from the Yoruba belief in the cyclical dance between crown, earth, and spirit.
