The Atelier
A house built on the cut
Our story
Tradition, tailored
We started House of Buray to bring the discipline of bespoke tailoring to the garments that matter most in Nigerian life — the agbada for a title, the lace for an Igba Nkwu, the suit for the boardroom.
Today, our in-house tailors draft every pattern by hand, cut in our Mabushi workrooms, and finish each piece with embroidery and beadwork done under the same roof. Nothing is outsourced, and nothing comes off a rack.
The result is a wardrobe of heirlooms: garments cut to your measure, and made to be remembered.
