Toluwalase
Toluwalase
The Crown Line
Toluwalase (Power Belongs to God) is neither adorned nor embellished—it is ordained. This is not an Agbada for the one who seeks applause, but for the one who moves as if led by a divine hand. Cloaked in an ethereal tone of ivory sand, Toluwalase is made for men who walk with destiny, not drama. It is quiet majesty at its purest—evidence of power that originates beyond the self, channeled through grace, conviction, and poise.
At the center of Toluwalase lies a sacred invocation: embroidery that does not speak, but prays. Woven in grounded camel brown, the chest panel blooms with solemn intricacy—summoning the lines of ancient palm scripts and the fertility of sacred groves. The top half unfolds like revelation, while the base descends in a solemn rhythm of verticals that call to mind carved pillars of shrines. These are not design elements. They are declarations of faith and foundation. To wear Toluwalase is to wear trust—not in spectacle, but in source.
This Agbada is cut from a refined cotton blend that carries both weight and breath. The outer robe flows from the shoulders like divine decree, its generous silhouette echoing priestly garments of old. Beneath, the awotele frames the embroidery with reverent restraint, allowing it to speak without interruption. The sokoto, tapered with subtle elegance, ensures the full set remains as composed kneeling in prayer as it is rising to lead. Paired with a cream fila that completes the monastic palette, Toluwalase is not worn—it is received.

Outer Agbada (Awosoke):
Crafted from a cotton-rich blend, the outer robe commands presence through proportion, not embellishment. Its midweight structure allows for grand, clean folds that rest with elegance across the body. Designed to fall just below the knee and cut with modest sleeves, it offers timeless poise, whether seated in ceremony or standing before kin. Its surface holds a soft matte finish that reflects light like parchment—subtle, sacred, and sincere.Inner Garment (Awotele):
The awotele mirrors the robe’s tone in a seamless composition. The neckline is deliberately modest, drawing attention to the embroidered panel at its heart. Built with structure and intention, it creates a disciplined base layer that grounds the outer garment in composure and clarity.Trousers (Sokoto):
The sokoto is tailored to perform in stillness and in movement. A gently tapered leg provides shape without rigidity, while the hidden drawstring and side zipper ensure comfort across extended wear. Whether in worship or in leadership, the trousers complete the ensemble with effortless dignity. -
Toluwalase is made from a high-grade cotton blend that brings together breathable softness and noble structure. Its weave provides enough stiffness to sculpt the garment’s silhouette, while maintaining a gentle handfeel ideal for prolonged ceremonial use. This harmony ensures the robe wears as a mantle of purpose—comfortable yet commanding.
The embroidery is stitched in camel brown using a raised threadwork technique that gives the panel presence without ostentation. The motifs are drawn from Yoruba cosmology—sacred plants, ancestral lineage markers, and divine lines of succession. Each stitch is measured, deliberate, and devout.
