A small Lagos atelier making bespoke suits, agbada and wedding wear for a short list of clients. Each garment is hand-cut, two-fitted, and finished in our Ikoyi workshop.
House of Oluwole is a three-room atelier above a bookshop in Ikoyi. We work with a short list of clients — about sixty men a year — on suits, jackets, agbada and wedding wear.
Every commission starts with a conversation, not a measurement. We ask how you move, how you carry weight, what you wear on your worst day. Then we cut, fit, and fit again.

Our process
From measurement to delivery.
01 — Conversation
We talk about what you want, where you'll wear it, and what you already love or dislike in your wardrobe. 45 minutes, by appointment only.
02 — Cloth
We select fabric from our house cloths — British, Italian and Irish mills — or source something specific for you.
03 — Pattern
Our head cutter drafts a pattern just for you. This is the step most shops skip and the one that makes the difference.
04 — First fitting
A basted baste-fit two weeks in. You try the rough shape on, we mark adjustments in chalk, and we take the garment apart again.
05 — Second fitting
A near-finished fit. Final tweaks to sleeves, shoulder line, and trouser break.
06 — Delivery
Pressed, bagged, and delivered to the studio or your home. With a promise to re-alter if anything shifts.
Clients
Worn well.
Olumide took me from 'off-the-rack Lagos' to a man who looks like himself. I've never gone back.
Chidi Okeke Client since 2019
He cut the dinner jacket I wore to my own wedding. Three years on, it still fits like the day he finished it.
David Adebayo Groom, Ikoyi 2023
I walked in for alterations and left with a new suit. Best mistake I've ever made.
