Agbada

The agbada is architecture in cloth. Worn across West Africa for centuries and most closely associated with Nigeria's Yoruba aristocracy, a full agbada is three garments worn together: the awosoke (the flowing outer robe), the awotele (the inner tunic) and the sokoto (tailored trousers).

CNOIR agbada sets keep the drama of the robe and discipline everything beneath it — a structured under-tunic, tapered trousers and a clean square-cut hem, so the volume reads as presence rather than excess. Cut in fabrics chosen to hold the fold, with embroidery concentrated at the neckline and chest.

This is occasionwear at its most serious: weddings, naming ceremonies, chieftaincy titles and any event where the photographs will matter for a generation. Available made to order in royal white, navy and ceremonial tones.
