Every woman has a story, but not every story is worn on her back. For TOKONI, that story begins with simplicity, confidence, and an unapologetic sense of style.
Founded by Onyishi Sophia Soromtochukwu Ayibatokoni, TOKONI is more than just a brand, it is a rebirth, a redefinition, and a bold declaration of identity. Born from the rebrand of Sommie’sclobber, TOKONI represents growth, maturity, and intention.
Where Sommie’sclobber was playful and experimental, TOKONI emerges as intentional and visionary, the designer’s true self finally brought to life. Each piece is a reflection of vision, creativity, and heritage woven into timeless fashion.
“My Ijaw name, Ayibatokoni, holds deep meaning for me. With TOKONI, I finally get to express my creativity in a way that feels true to who I am,” says the founder.
The Bare Back Collection
Every brand has a signature, and for TOKONI, it begins with the back. Her debut line, The Bare Back Collection, has already been described as minimalist luxury at its finest.
This collection proves you don’t have to “do too much” to stand out. Each piece is designed for the modern woman, the one who commands attention in effortless style. Chic, bold, and undeniably feminine.
Whether for brunch, parties, or casual hangouts, these pieces transcend trends and set a new standard for exclusivity. With fewer than 15 pieces of each print available in Nigeria, the collection is already being hailed as “rare, personal, and one of the freshest takes in Nigerian fashion this year.”
And in true TOKONI style, the statement is in the details: the back.

The Message Behind the Brand
TOKONI isn’t chasing trends, she is setting her own lane. The brand is about timelessness, confidence, and the luxury of simplicity.
“Fashion, to me, is personality. It’s not just clothes, it’s what brings out your alter ego. And TOKONI is that girl,” says Sophia.
The early reviews of the collection echo this spirit: “effortless confidence stitched into fabric,” “a blend of authenticity and chic minimalism,” and “the brand to watch.”
Courage, Growth & Wins
Every great fashion story begins with courage. For TOKONI, the journey started with self-doubt, but was fueled by compliments from strangers and encouragement from friends.
Her first photoshoot became a breakthrough moment, not only for the brand but for Sophia herself. Seeing her designs styled with pride, she realized she had created something extraordinary. That moment marked the shift: from doubt to destiny.
What’s Next for TOKONI
The Bare Back Collection is just the beginning. Plans are already underway to expand TOKONI into a full lifestyle brand, with clothing, shoes, bags, and accessories under one vision.
“I am everything clobber,” Sophia declares, solidifying her commitment to making TOKONI a household name synonymous with effortless luxury and timeless design.
Conclusion
TOKONI is not just another fashion label. She is a movement, a girl, a style that lingers, minimalist yet bold, simple yet luxurious, authentic yet timeless.
With her first collection, The Bare Back Collection, TOKONI is already being praised as “one of the most exciting new voices in Nigerian fashion.”
Exclusive. Confident. Unforgettable. This is TOKONI, and this is only the beginning.
