As you would have noticed so far, agbada is simply not complete without a cap. However, this time the cap is intentionally designed to match the agbada’s color and design. What makes this agbada unique is that, unlike other agbada that combine different colors, this one makes use of different shades of the same color.

What we love most about Ankara is how versatile it can be. In the hands of the right designer, Ankara can turn into a suit, an agbada, or a simple long sleeve shirt and trousers like in this case.
