Ceremonial

Akinwande (The warrior has returned in glory) is not simply worn—it is inherited. Designed as the ultimate expression of legacy, power, and craftsmanship, this ceremonial Agbádá represents the apex of our Ceremonial Tier. Every stitch, every motif, and every fold is a quiet proclamation of prestige.

Cut from a luminous, high-thread count satin-cotton base, the robe is entirely encrusted with master-level embroidery—an orchestra of threadwork that combines bullion knots, dimensional stumpwork, and satin-wrapped cord detailing. Florals bloom in relief, scrolls coil with intention, and ancestral motifs echo through sculptural flourishes. No surface is untouched; no detail overlooked.

Unlike garments that dazzle at first glance, Akinwande unfolds its richness the longer it is worn and admired. The embroidery plays with light, shifting between soft matte and radiant shine, evoking a sense of spiritual ceremony in motion. It is designed for moments of consequence—royal weddings, coronations, state receptions—when only the extraordinary will do.

Limited availability.

Each robe requires over 300 hours of handwork and is made exclusively to your measurements.

  • Akinwande is engineered for presence. The silhouette is architectural yet fluid, with a regal, floor-grazing hem that creates natural volume as it moves. Every layer is structured to frame the body without restriction—balancing comfort, stature, and performance under ceremony lights.

    • Outer Robe (Awosoke):
      The awosoke is precision-cut for full shoulder extension and a cascading drape. Its generous volume is anchored by carefully placed embroidery panels, allowing the garment to move with sculptural elegance. The embroidery is symmetrically laid out for visual harmony across the robe’s body and sleeves.

    • Undervest (Awotele):
      Worn beneath the robe, the undervest is tailored for a close-yet-breathable fit with reinforced shoulder lines and a deep neckline designed to reveal the embroidery’s upper curvature. Hidden snap closures maintain its clean profile beneath the robe.

    • Trousers (Sokoto):
      The trousers are tapered for a sleek profile and equipped with a concealed drawstring and side-fastening for adjustability. They sit cleanly under the robe while maintaining structure throughout long hours of wear.

    • Fit Profile:
      Designed for a commanding drape with a wide range of motion. Robe length is customizable by height. All pieces are made-to-order to your exact measurements for a tailored yet relaxed fit that flows effortlessly through space.

  • Akinwande is constructed from a lustrous 100% cotton satin, selected for its smooth surface, natural breathability, and ability to hold dense embroidery without puckering. The fabric has a subtle sheen that enhances the interplay between light and shadow across the robe’s voluminous form.

    • Base Fabric: 100% Long-Staple Cotton Satin

    • Weave: Satin weave with a soft, reflective finish

    • Embroidery Threads: Rayon, Cotton, and Metallic blend

    • Base Fabric Weight: ~200 gsm

    • Total Garment Weight: ~2.2–2.4 kg (including embroidery and layering)

    • Color: Ivory White with multitone embroidery

    The satin’s tight weave allows the embroidery to remain crisp and elevated, turning the fabric into both a canvas and a statement. Designed to perform in both ceremonial and evening contexts, the fabric maintains its form while allowing ease of movement.

  • Crafted from a premium 100% cotton satin base, Akinwande features master-level embroidery applied in multiple passes using rayon, cotton, and metallic threads. The robe’s surface work includes padded satin stitches, bullion knots, French knots, and layered couching—techniques typically reserved for haute couture and ecclesiastical textiles.

    Each motif is embroidered directly onto the finished fabric, not appliquéd, ensuring the artwork becomes a structural part of the robe. The weight and density of the threadwork are intentionally varied to create depth and dimension when viewed under different lighting conditions.

    Care Instructions:
    Dry clean only. Use a professional service with experience in embroidered garments. Do not press embroidery directly—use steam or a press cloth if needed. Store flat or gently rolled with acid-free tissue inside the provided garment bag. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or direct sunlight when not in use.
