TÍWA N TÍWA meaning Ours is Ours;
This collection is rooted in the sacred but controversial Yoruba tradition known as the white cloth ritual, a custom where a white cloth was laid on a bridal bed
on her wedding night to “prove” her virginity by blood. If there was no blood, she risked being dishonoured. Her worth was reduced to a stain.
But in TÍWA N TÍWA, we reclaim that cloth.
We reclaim that night.
We reclaim ourselves.
Through this collection, the white cloth is no longer a tool of judgment; it becomes a canvas of resistance and pride. The same fabric once used to test a
woman’s purity now becomes a vessel for her power.

What was once a moment of fear is reimagined as a ritual of honour. A woman’s story no longer needs
proof; it needs presence.Each robe is a quiet revolution: Crystals shimmer like blessings passed down.
Cowries carry wealth and protection.
Aso-Oke and Adire echo generations of artistry and identity.
Broken coral beads speak to royal rebirth.
And sculpted silhouettes reclaim space boldly, unapologetically.
These robes do not whisper permission, they proclaim truth:
This body is mine. This story is mine. TÍWA N TÍWA. Ours is Ours.
At RBA, bridal prep is not an afterthought. It is a sacred rite.
My Yoruba heritage is not inspiration; it is foundation.
Through TÍWA N TÍWA, every bride is invited to enter her union not as someone to be validated, but as someone already whole. Already worthy. Already iconic.
Because what we inherit, we redefine.
And what was once theirs to judge
It is now ours to own.
