About ADÉṢẸWÀ
Made for you, made to measure.
At ADÉṢẸWÀ, we believe that clothing should be made to fit you, not the other way around.
Made to measure
A fit that complements your shape.
Every piece is thoughtfully crafted using your unique body measurements, with individual patterns created to ensure a fit that complements your shape. Our made-to-measure approach allows us to pay attention to the details that matter, creating clothing that feels personal and beautifully considered.
Because no two bodies are exactly alike, we believe your clothes should reflect that.

The beginning
My name is Asade Oluwatosin.
ADÉṢẸWÀ is a name that has been part of my life long before it became a brand. ADÉṢẸWÀ is my middle name — the name my mother gave me and the name she calls me. I chose it for the brand because it reminds me of where my love for fashion began.
Our story
I started learning to sew when I was fifteen.
I was about to start university, and I knew I wanted a skill of my own. So, whenever school was on break, I would spend my time apprenticing at a tailoring shop. Sewing, however, had been part of my life long before that.
My grandmother was a tailor, and my mother also learnt to sew. She never pursued it professionally, but she passed her love of fashion on to me as well as her 18-year-old sewing machine, which I still have to this day. She was always making new clothes for my sister and me. We would go to the market together, choose fabrics and pick out styles. I loved watching an idea become something we could actually wear.
After NYSC, I started looking for a job. I turned down a few opportunities and couldn't quite understand why. There was nothing wrong with the jobs. My heart simply wasn't in them. I had always known I would eventually have a fashion brand. I realized I didn't want to keep putting it off. That was the beginning of ADÉṢẸWÀ.
Today, I design for the woman who loves fashion and loves feeling beautiful. With every piece, I think about one simple thing: will she love it enough to wear it? That thought goes into the designs, the details and every decision we make. ADÉṢẸWÀ is a love for fashion, carried forward.
