Dimensions: 84" x 7"

Made in Nigeria

"Oró Gold" inspired by the Yoruba word "Oró," meaning "treasure," is a luxurious 100% cotton handwoven fabric that radiates timeless elegance. Featuring a warm gold tone with delicate white accents and openwork patterns, this Aso Oke is a masterpiece of simplicity and sophistication. Its textured weave and precise detailing reflect the cultural heritage and artistry of Yoruba textile craftsmanship.

Aso Oke, which translates to "top cloth" in Yoruba, is a prestigious handwoven fabric traditionally made on narrow strip looms. Artisans carefully thread each loom with cotton and silk to produce strips of fabric, which are then sewn together to form a larger piece. This time-honored process requires patience, skill, and deep cultural knowledge, resulting in a fabric that is both durable and exquisite. The use of silk threads adds a subtle sheen, enhancing the visual appeal of the intricate patterns. Aso Oke is often reserved for special occasions, signifying respect, heritage, and cultural pride.

Perfect for crafting elegant garments, refined accessories, or distinctive decor, "Oró Gold" is more than fabric—it is a symbol of Yoruba pride, tradition, and excellence. Each yard of this fabric is a testament to the enduring beauty and skill of African textile artistry, making it a treasured addition to any collection.
