Experience a blend of heritage, craftsmanship, and artistic expression with Aso Oke fabric

Aso Oke, meaning "top cloth" in Yoruba, is a handwoven fabric deeply rooted in Nigerian culture. Aso Oke can be crafted from natural fibers, like cotton and silk, and sometimes made with wire threads. It is created on traditional narrow looms, with each strip of fabric meticulously woven by skilled artisans. These strips, often 7 inches wide, are later sewn together to form larger pieces. Every pattern tells a story, showcasing the artisan's creativity and cultural heritage. Revered for its intricate designs, Aso Oke is used in fashion, upholstery, and art, blending timeless tradition with modern expression. 

We offer this fabric in a variety of color combinations and offer this fabric in several textiles including Cotton, Silk and Wire combinations.! If your fabric preference is not in stock, contact us and get it made to order today! 

Please Note: The fabric edges are loose as the fabric ships directly from the loom. This authentic feature reflects the traditional weaving process and allows for flexibility in tailoring and finishing to suit your creative needs.
