Aso Oke is among the most significant textile traditions of the Yoruba people of Southwest Nigeria, handwoven in narrow strips on horizontal looms and distinguished by its dense, raised weave and its cultural weight as a fabric worn at ceremonies and celebrations. In this oversized blazer, the fabric is liberated from its ceremonial context without losing any of its cultural resonance. The body is cut generously, with a deep shawl collar that falls open at the chest and a hem that grazes the upper thigh, lending the piece the ease of a coat. The weave’s natural texture gives the blazer a three-dimensional quality that no printed or plain-dyed fabric could replicate. A single white bar tack at the chest pocket is the only applied detail, allowing the cloth itself to be the statement. This is a piece for someone who understands that heritage and modernity are not opposites but collaborators.<\/p>\n
Available in sizes 6 to 18. Fabric: Authentic handwoven Aso Oke. Care: Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent, or dry clean. Do not machine wash. Do not wring. Lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight to preserve colour and weave integrity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
