Agbobly

Agbobly is a Brooklyn based, independent design studio founded by Jacques Agbobly during the height of the pandemic in 2020.

Agbobly has developed a deep heritage of vibrant colors, artisanal materiality and visionary silhouettes inspired by Jacques’ experiences as an indigenous, non-binary immigrant. The Togolese identity and heritage is fundamental to our brand’s celebration of multiplicities within Black culture through fashion.

Agbobly is rooted in uplifting communities through storytelling and the centering of West African hand craft, which is infused within our custom made-to-order design approach. This model has allowed us to eliminate the possibility of excess in production. Our products are made in-house on a hand-operated knitting machine using natural fibers that are biodegradable and eco-friendly.

Agbobly is centered around individuality with a keen sense of playful optimism and joy that is evoked through the use of color, bright materials and designs that pay tribute to Togolese heritage and history.
