Cultures and Traditions are undoubtedly a way of life. Although a few things have changed over the years, there are still some elements that would forever be timeless. One of these, is dressing.
Even though change equals dynamism, traditional dress sense and style is one that has stood the stretch and stress of time; and it is healthy to state that Agbada is more or less the supernova of this category.
The history of this classic apparel lies amongst the Islamic Tukulor, Mandé and people of the 8th century; then the Mali and Songhai Empires in the 13th century. After series of seemingly stunning modifications, the Agbada garment found it’s way on high demand into Nigeria, upon still maintaining its aesthetic values.
