Dimensions: 78" x 7"

"Àṣẹ Triad" inspired by the Yoruba word "Àṣẹ," signifying divine authority and creative energy, is a meticulously crafted fabric that embodies elegance and tradition. Handwoven from a luxurious blend of cotton and silk threads, this Aso Oke features bold triangular motifs in black, gold, and white, symbolizing unity, strength, and balance. The geometric design reflects the precision and artistry of Yoruba textile heritage.

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 creating sophisticated garments, regal accessories, or unique decor, "Àṣẹ Triad" is more than just fabric—it is a symbol of Yoruba identity and craftsmanship. Each yard tells a story of dedication, tradition, and the creative spirit of its weavers, making it a meaningful addition to any collection.
