Aso-oke is a special hand-woven cloth and over centuries has become somewhat of the style marker of the Yoruba tribe. It was said to have been created in Yorubaland around the 15th century and since then spread around the land and its environs.

The weaving, quite possibly the most important part of the process, is a delicate chore.The weaver deftly presses down on the pedals of the ‘orun’ and uses their hands to weave the material to create the signature designs in a variety of colours.

Aso-Oke is the short version of the more formal Aso Ilu Oke which roughly translates to ‘clothes from the up-country’. It is the traditional wear of the Yoruba tribe who originate from the south-west of Nigeria. They are the second largest tribe in the Nigeria and Aso-oke is often worn as a celebration cloth on special occasions and important events.

Despite being a traditional material, Aso-oke is making a very modern comeback. The new generations of creatives and designer are finding ways to marry the rich cultural history of Aso-oke with modern silhouettes.

The Aso Oke headband is the new Gele technique women are embracing for its easy and painless process. This style can be created into what you need to be embellished with beads, stone and buttons, and other things that you would love to add to spice things up.
