Olumide
Olumide
The Crown Line
Olumide (My Lord Has Come in Power) is a shadow crowned in silence. It does not beg for recognition. It asserts it. Draped in a deep, sovereign black from head to hem, Olumide is the robe of a man who does not seek the spotlight—he is the reason it exists. This Agbada is not adorned to impress, but composed to command. In it walks the man who has nothing to prove—only history to uphold and legacy to extend.
Its embroidery is a study in subtle power: black on black, yet anything but invisible. The sacred Yoruba motifs—palm fronds, ancestral waves, and divine echoes—emerge only when the light bows low enough to reveal them. They whisper, not shout. They remind, not flaunt. The top half of the panel swells with layered fullness like a closed fist filled with wisdom. The base flows into descending stripes—like the steps of an unseen throne. This is regalia for those who govern from within.
Cut from a structured cotton blend with an understated matte finish, Olumide wears like a mantle of silence. The outer Agbada flows from the shoulders with clean authority, enveloping the wearer like a decree. The awotele beneath is measured and restrained, shaped to frame the embroidery as if framing a memory too sacred to speak aloud. The sokoto is discreet, shaped for stillness and stride alike. Paired with a precisely tailored black fila, Olumide is not just an ensemble—it is a rite of passage for those who have already arrived.

Outer Robe (Awosoke):
The outer robe is cut for majesty. It carries weight without stiffness, framing the wearer in uninterrupted black flow. Its angular drape is deliberate—broad in reach, silent in motion. Sleeves extend to form a winged silhouette that moves like a slow tide, designed to echo the grandeur of ancestral assemblies.Inner Garment (Awotele):
The awotele is restrained in tone but powerful in form. It supports the embroidery with anchored stillness, its shoulders shaped for dignity and bearing. The neckline is reinforced to hold the weight of the embroidery without collapse, making every movement a controlled procession.Trousers (Sokoto):
The sokoto is crafted for harmony with the garment’s vertical architecture—slim, tapered, and firm. A hidden side zip and drawstring allow for adjustment without disrupting symmetry. The fit is designed for both movement and formality, ensuring the entire outfit maintains its sculptural unity. -
