Adegbemi
The Crown Line
Adégbèmí (The Crown Has Chosen Me) does not whisper. It rests in silence, with the weight of ancient oaths and inherited fire. Draped in a regal forest green, this Agbada is made for the one who was never merely appointed—but anointed. It is for the man whose name is spoken in rooms before he enters, whose presence recalls a lineage that stretches beyond memory. Adégbèmí is not for the moment. It is for the mantle.
At its heart lies a sacred bronze-gold embroidery—a throned declaration that refuses spectacle, yet cannot be ignored. The threadwork coils upward in mirrored organic forms: symbols drawn from Yoruba cosmology, reminiscent of palm crowns, flame roots, and divine leaf patterns. There is gravity in the symmetry—upper motifs that swell with vitality, lower ones that drop like blessings from Oríṣà. Beneath, vertical bronze bars anchor the composition like royal pillars. The embroidery does not merely adorn—it affirms.
Cut from a deeply pigmented cotton-rich blend, Adégbèmí balances sculptural strength with subtle softness. The outer robe is cut to evoke dignity without weight—flowing from the shoulders in deliberate waves, commanding presence without artifice. The awotele is tailored precisely to hold the embroidered panel with reverence, keeping the lines pure and undistracted. Beneath, the sokoto is tapered and fitted for composure in both stillness and stride. Finished with a perfectly matched forest green fila, Adégbèmí is not simply worn—it is borne, like a name chosen by fate.

Outer Robe (Awosoke):
Woven from a structured ceremonial cotton blend, the outer robe cascades with precision from the shoulder in broad, architectural folds. The cut is mid-length with wide sleeves—enough to envelop, never to obscure. This is drapery with purpose, crafted to magnify the poise of those called to lead.Inner Garment (Awotele):
The awotele forms the core frame of Adégbèmí’s silhouette. Its neckline is gently elevated, subtly cradling the embroidery in place. Rendered in matching green, it forms a cohesive base and grounds the visual power of the chest panel. It is the garment’s quiet anchor—keeping grace intact through every motion.Trousers (Sokoto):
Cleanly tapered and cut to precision, the sokoto supports the ensemble’s regal posture. With a discreet internal drawstring and hidden zip, it allows for ease of wear while upholding structure. Whether seated in ceremony or walking into destiny, the sokoto holds its line. -
Adégbèmí is crafted from a cotton-rich ceremonial blend chosen for its balance of firmness and breathability. The fabric is weighty enough to hold structure yet soft enough to flow with movement. Its finish is matte with a hint of ancestral sheen—offering dignity, not dazzle.
The embroidery is stitched in layered bronze-gold thread, its texture raised with purpose and poise. The thread was selected for its mellow gleam—suggestive of heirloom metal, worn and revered. The motifs are derived from Yoruba sacred botany and crown iconography, rendered here with restraint and reverence.
