Season 27 · Ikoyi, Lagos

A house of cloth, cut and craft.

Ready-to-wear for women and men, bespoke by appointment, and an academy that teaches every stitch of it.

The house

We make clothes to be worn for years, we cut them for the body in front of us, and we teach anyone willing to learn how it is done.

Ready-to-wearThe season's collection, in sizes 6 to 18 and S to XXL.Shop the collectionBespokeSuits, agbada and bridal, cut to your own pattern.Book a fittingAcademyShort courses and a one-year diploma, in dated intakes.See the courses

One house

Three ways in

Made in our own atelier

Every piece in the collection is cut and sewn upstairs at the house, in small runs, so a sold-out size can be made again.

Your pattern, kept

We draft a paper pattern for each client and keep it, so the second suit starts at the second fitting.

The craft, taught

The same cutters and tailors teach the academy courses, with twelve students to a class.

Clients

Said at the fitting

“They kept my pattern from the wedding suit. The second one took two fittings, not five.”
Example customer · Ikoyi
“The lace iro and buba fitted off the rail. I only had the hem taken up.”
Example customer · Abuja
“I came for the twelve-week course and left able to draft my own block.”
Example customer · Academy student, Yaba
