Aso Oke is celebrated not just for its rich textures and vibrant colors but also for its intricate design forms that add depth and personality to the fabric. Two prominent design styles are Vertical patterns and Geometric (geo) patterns, each bringing its unique flair to this traditional textile.

Vertical Patterns

Vertical patterns are crafted with threads aligned in vertical lines, often creating a sleek and elongated effect. These designs can be made with cotton or metallic threads, offering both subtlety and sparkle depending on the material. Vertical patterns add a touch of elegance and are perfect for those who love timeless, streamlined designs.

These designs bring complexity and texture, making the fabric visually engaging and dynamic. While cotton is more commonly used, metallic geo patterns can also be found, adding a modern twist to this classic style.
