Ìbàdàn,
Kí Ni So?
A ready-to-wear house that archives Ibadan. Heavy garments, researched history, printed at length on the back — made for people who already know this city, not for people learning about it.
The Current Drops
Small runs, numbered by chapter. Once a drop sells out, it stays in the archive — it doesn't come back.
Seen from Bower's Tower, the city is an endless field of rusted roofs. We treat it as a colour, not a postcard.
Five names the city doesn't need to explain.
The Story Archive
Every place and person the collection has ever referenced — including the drops that already sold out.
Cocoa House
West Africa's first skyscraper, standing over Dugbe since 1965 — financed by the collective earnings of cocoa farmers.
Mapo Hall
Built 1925–1929 on the hill the city governs itself from. Five facts, one panel, sourced and checked.
Bower's Tower
Built 1936, the highest point over Ibadan — where the roofscape becomes visible as one continuous field.
Full Archive page — with sourcing and sold-out drops kept as cultural content — is not built yet. This is a preview of what it will hold.
Woven, not printed.
Gbagi and Ọjẹ are textile markets of national importance. Aṣọ is the collection built directly from Ibadan's own cloth trade rather than printed onto it — in development.
Coming soon — no Aṣọ products live yet.Worn by people who already know
"Picked the Mapo Hall tee because that's where my grandfather used to take me. Didn't expect to learn something new about a building I've walked past my whole life."
