Obafemi
Obafemi
The Prestige Line
Obafemi (The King Loves Me) is bold, commanding, and richly alive in cobalt blue. This is the Agbada for the man who arrives with presence—whether walking into his father’s compound, leading from the front, or celebrating new beginnings. Regal yet magnetic, the garment channels royal Yoruba heritage through a modern, eye-catching lens.
The embroidery, rendered in a striking burnt orange, leaps from the chest like a flame carved in tradition. Its vertical geometry is both ancient and energetic—featuring symmetrical spirals, spears, and climbing vines that echo upward movement and ancestral strength. The contrast between the deep cobalt fabric and the fiery threadwork is deliberate, reflecting the wearer’s confidence and charisma without needing excess.
The Outer Robe (Awosoke) falls cleanly from the shoulders to the calves, its sculptural weight balancing drama and discipline. The layered sides and broad shoulders frame the body like a ceremonial shield, while the bright embroidery draws attention to the heart—making Obafemi a celebration of masculine beauty, power, and purpose. Finished with a matching Fila in cobalt, it is unmistakably royal.

Outer Robe (Awosoke):
The awosoke on Obafemi is made from a crisp, medium-weight cotton blend that holds form yet moves with ease. Designed to reach the mid-calf, it’s tailored with structured shoulders, clean side panels, and a generous width that gives it a proud, sculptural profile. The robe’s cut evokes tradition while delivering a bold, present-day silhouette.Undervest (Awotele):
Fitted without tightness, the awotele underneath provides structure and layering. Its neckline curves gently below the embroidery line, ensuring an uninterrupted visual path for the central motif. The sleeves are clean and uninterrupted, built for comfort and confidence.Trousers (Sokoto):
The sokoto completes the look with tailored, tapered form. It sits just above the ankle, with a hidden waistband system for adjustability. Cut from the same cobalt cotton blend, it supports the full silhouette without breaking rhythm. -
Obafemi is constructed from a luxurious cotton blend selected for its durability, breathability, and rich color retention. The weave is tight yet soft to the touch, offering elegant drape with a sculpted finish. The cobalt blue is deep and saturated—designed to hold tone under flash or sunlight without fading.
The embroidery uses thick, high-lustre rayon threads in a warm, vibrant burnt orange. This contrast not only adds dimension and energy, but makes the garment visually unforgettable—especially during ceremonies, portraits, or formal gatherings.
