About Atelier

A Lagos design house built around exact cutting, tactile cloth, and limited production runs.

Cut plainly, worn often

Tailoring for every day: the suit, the coat, the trouser, the shirt.

The line comes first

Every piece starts with the shape it should hold on the body: where the shoulder sits, how the trouser falls, how long the coat runs. Then the cloth is chosen to keep that shape through a working day.

What the wardrobe holds

Tailoring in wool suiting
Outerwear in gabardine, leather and suede
Pleated and straight trousers
Poplin and cotton shirting
Fine-gauge knitwear

Navy suit, seated — Navy, the suit that goes everywhere.

Atelier House

Tailoring, cut plainly and worn often

A short list of cloths, repeated: wool, gabardine, poplin, knit. Pieces carry from one season into the next, so the wardrobe grows instead of starting over.

How a piece is judged

Four things decide whether it joins the wardrobe.

01
The shoulder
It sits where your shoulder ends, never past it.
02
The fall
Trousers drop straight from the hip to the shoe.
03
The cloth
Weight enough to hold its line by evening.
04
The repeat
It works with what's already on the rail.
