The Prestige Line

Ayowole (Joy Has Entered the Home) anchors itself in warm, earthy brown. Made for the man whose strength is rooted in humility—whether welcoming guests, presiding over harvest rites, or standing firm in community—this Agbada speaks to ancestral groundedness and timeless hospitality. The tone is a rich, earthen bronze-brown, reminiscent of sun-warmed soil and sculpted wood, offering quiet masculinity with cultural weight. It does not shout, but it endures.

The embroidery—stitched in a textured olive green—moves like carved foliage down the center of the chest. Its motifs are deeply rooted in Yoruba design lexicon: winding vines, linked diamonds, and ascending forms that speak to growth, harmony, and the cycles of life. The tonal contrast is subtle but substantial—giving the embroidery a tactile quality that feels more organic than ornamental. The overall effect is harmony in motion—structured, intentional, and deeply cultural.

The Outer Robe (Awosoke) is cut to mid-calf, with strong, sculptural shoulders and deeply folded sides that create depth without distraction. Its silhouette honors traditional Yoruba lines but pares them back into a garment that feels equally at home in a village courtyard or modern formal setting. Paired with a matching brown Fila (cap), Ayowole is for the man who honors his roots with quiet pride—measured, welcoming, and immovably present.

  • Outer Robe (Awosoke):
    The awosoke of Ayowole is crafted from a firm, medium-weight cotton blend designed to retain clean lines and a sculptural drape. The shoulders are cut square for presence, while the elbow-length sleeves and calf-length drop allow for relaxed movement and layering. Deep pleats at the side seams give the robe breath and rhythm, designed to complement the wearer's posture rather than overpower it.

    Undervest (Awotele):
    The awotele beneath is made in matching brown cotton blend, creating a tonal canvas that highlights the embroidery's complexity. The neckline is rounded with a minimal placket, cleanly framing the chest panel. Full-length sleeves taper gently to a cuffed finish, offering composure beneath the volume of the outer layer. The fit is smooth and structured for day-long ease.

    Trousers (Sokoto):
    The sokoto is cut to a tailored ankle, with an inner drawstring and side closure providing versatility and precision. Rendered in the same warm brown hue, the trousers complete the look with quiet coherence. Built for functionality and comfort, they maintain their crisp silhouette throughout movement, gatherings, or ceremony.

  • Ayowole is made from a textured cotton blend chosen for its earthy tone, matte surface, and breathable structure. The weave is tight enough to hold shape, yet soft enough for all-day wear. The bronze-brown tone is even and robust, designed to look timeless against every complexion and lighting environment.

    The embroidery is done in olive rayon thread with a soft matte finish, offering both strength and subtle depth. It lays flush across the fabric with excellent stitch definition, allowing the motifs to read clearly without glare or excessive shine.

    • Material: Premium cotton blend with rayon embroidery

    • Weave: Tight plain weave with soft structure

    • Finish: Matte, lightly textured surface

    • Weight: ~190 gsm
