The Prestige Line
Àṣàké (What Is Chosen Is Cherished) enters like a benediction—pure, luminous, and commanding in its restraint. Rendered entirely in ceremonial white, this Agbada speaks not of spectacle but of reverence. It is worn by men who understand the sanctity of tradition, who walk through life as both witness and vessel—preserving what was chosen long before they arrived. The name honors legacy: “What has been chosen—by God, by bloodline, by purpose—must be guarded.”
The embroidery is jet black—dense, deliberate, and unrelenting. Its pattern draws on ancestral linework: angular geometry coiled into scrolls that speak of memory, discipline, and ancestral code. Against the stark white canvas, the embroidery doesn’t just contrast—it consecrates. It is a quiet boldness, a statement of presence that doesn’t rise in volume but in weight.
The Outer Robe (Awosoke) flows in pristine white with a strong silhouette. Cut to mid-calf, its square shoulders and broad sleeves deliver stature without force. This is regality worn in stillness—crafted for rites, reunions, and moments of great personal clarity. The Fila (cap) completes the uniformity of vision, delivering a look that is both sacred and striking.

Outer Robe (Awosoke):
Structured yet fluid, the Awosoke is cut from a pure cotton blend that holds its shape while offering natural movement. Square shoulders provide balance, and the clean fall to the mid-calf allows the robe to move with purpose. Its unembellished surface draws the eye inward—to the embroidery, to the presence, to the man.Undervest (Awotele):
The Awotele mirrors the ivory tone and features a subtle rounded neckline with a tapered placket, ensuring the embroidery remains the visual center. Long sleeves gently taper to the wrist, offering a composed foundation beneath the outer robe.Trousers (Sokoto):
The Sokoto is slim and clean, tapering just above the ankle. Finished with a concealed drawstring and tailored waist, it provides a secure yet invisible fit. The matching white completes the set in perfect tonal unison. -
Àṣàké is constructed from a high-grade cotton blend with a soft brushed handfeel and fine plain weave. The weight offers just enough structure for ceremonial presence, yet enough breathability for comfort through movement and heat. The brilliant white tone lends itself to formal, religious, and commemorative occasions.
The embroidery is stitched with thick black rayon thread, chosen for its crisp definition and low-sheen finish. This creates a stark, uncompromising contrast that elevates the piece into the realm of symbolism—more than clothing, it becomes a declaration.
