ABAGA VELLI JACKETS

Launched in 2019, ABAGA VELLI instills the lived experiences and community-oriented mindset of cofounders Nehimiah Hasmat-Ali and Adémidé Udoma. Taking its name from an acronym meaning "art brings access, grants ascendance" alongside the Votic word for brotherhood, the London-based brand marries contemporary Nigerian fashion with the storied heritage of fine British tailoring. The label augments its heavily researched collections with Japanese raw denim, Italian leather, and British waxed cotton to create sleek and adaptable staples for everyday wear. Infusing high-quality craftsmanship with rich storytelling, ABAGA VELLI offers a unique, succinct vision of streetwear elegance.
