The Crown Line
Adégbémí (The Crown Has Embraced Me) is not worn—it is inhabited. This is the Agbada for the man who walks with rooted stillness, whose presence evokes ancestry without uttering a word. Rendered in a rare shade of rosewood, Adégbémí carries the aura of sacred ground—rich, earthen, and unmistakably regal. It is made for those who do not seek thrones, yet are always seated at the center of the room. In Adégbémí, the man is not dressed—he is enthroned.
At the heart of this garment lies a tapestry of heritage: embroidery that whispers of sacred groves and carved lintels, passed from elder to heir. The threadwork is cast in warm terracotta—a tone that neither shouts nor dims, but radiates with ancestral heat. The upper motif opens like the fronds of a royal palm, each curve recalling the blessings of lineage. Below, vertical lines descend like pillars, grounding the garment in reverence. This panel is not embellishment—it is testimony. The man who wears Adégbémí is not adorned. He is affirmed.
The outer robe is cut from a structured cotton blend with a ceremonial weight, its folds designed to echo the quiet power of Yoruba kingship. The awotele beneath is cut clean and collarless, letting the embroidery breathe and center the garment’s authority. The sokoto completes the trinity: discreet in line but exacting in cut, it preserves the Agbada’s geometry in stillness or stride. Topped with a harmonized fila, Adégbémí is not fashion. It is heritage clothed in dignity.

Outer Agbada (Awosoke):
Woven in a refined cotton blend, the outer robe of Adégbémí carries both volume and verticality. Its rosewood tone drapes in architectural lines, offering gravity and grace with every motion. The robe is tailored to fall below the knee, with sleeves that frame the torso in stately proportion. The surface is deliberately matte, letting the depth of color take precedence over shine.Inner Garment (Awotele):
Tailored with discipline and clarity, the awotele provides the compositional base for the ensemble. Its neckline is modest and collarless, ensuring the embroidered panel becomes the focal point. This inner layer provides structural elegance, anchoring the outer folds with poise.Trousers (Sokoto):
The sokoto is lightly tapered with a hidden drawstring and side zip enclosure. It is made for ritual comfort—cut to maintain line while allowing ease. Together, the three layers create a silhouette worthy of ancestral rites and contemporary royalty alike. -
Adégbémí is cut from a ceremonial-grade cotton blend that balances structure and suppleness. The weave holds its sculptural drape while remaining breathable and wearable for prolonged occasions. The embroidery is rendered in terracotta thread, using a raised stitch technique to lend dimension and tactility to every motif.
Each thread was chosen for its earthen glow—offering richness without flash, elegance without excess. The panel motifs draw from sacred Yoruba flora and traditional insignias of crown-bearing houses.
