Nigeria is blessed with a lot of gorgeous fabrics but when it comes to making a statement, nothing captures elegance and individuality like customising your Aso Oke fabric. Known for its rich heritage and versatility, Aso Oke is the ultimate fabric to express your personal style and cultural pride. At Woven Market Africa, we believe that every piece should be as unique as the person wearing it. That’s why we offer endless ways to customise your Aso Oke, allowing you to create a one-of-a-kind look.
Customising your Aso Oke is a personal experience, and our expert team is here to guide you every step of the way. Whether you’re going for something traditional or modern, bold or understated, we’ll bring your vision to life. It all starts with a consultation where we chat about your style preferences, your skin tone, and the mood you want to create. From there, you can choose from an exciting range of textures, colors, and patterns. Making sure everything is designed to suit your taste and help you stand out.
One of the most exciting parts of personalizing your Aso Oke is picking the right texture. Each texture has a different vibe and aesthetic, enhancing your look in a way that’s uniquely you. At Woven Market Africa, we offer a variety of textures to match your style and preferences:
For those who want to make a bold, glamorous statement, this fully metallic fabric shines brilliantly under light, giving your outfit a striking and luxurious appearance. It’s perfect for when you want to stand out and steal the show.
A blend of metallic and poly cotton, this texture offers a subtle sheen without being too overpowering. It strikes a balance between elegance and comfort, ideal for when you want a touch of glamour without being too flashy.
Created with synthetic polyester cotton threads, this texture offers a lightweight feel while maintaining the iconic Aso Oke structure. It’s a great option if you want comfort but still want that refined look.
If you’re after a softer, more fluid drape, this mix of rayon and synthetic cotton threads provides a silky texture that moves gracefully. It’s perfect for creating flowing, elegant designs that are comfortable and stylish.
Colour plays a crucial role in setting the tone for your custom Aso Oke, and the possibilities are endless. Some people like to consider their skin tone when picking colors. For example, warm colours like gold, autumn, or scarlet might look amazing on deeper skin tones, while cooler shades like silver or pastels can create a gorgeous contrast on lighter skin. Honestly though, it’s totally up to you! The beauty of Aso Oke is that it’s all about you and your style.
Whether you choose to match your skin tone or be bold and go for something completely different, you’ll look stunning either way. At the end of the day, the most important thing is to wear what makes you feel good. So whatever your skin tone might be, if a colour speaks to you, rock it! Whatever you choose, you’ll slay regardless!
When deciding on colours, you can choose between mono-tone, duo-tone, or multi-tone options, each offering a unique aesthetic. These tones are available exclusively for metallic fabrics, adding a gorgeous visual impact:
This has a single color throughout the fabric, providing a clean, sophisticated look. It’s perfect for those who prefer a minimalist yet striking appearance. Metallic mono-tones like gold, silver, or champagne can add a luxurious feel to your outfit.
This stunning choice adds depth and dimension by blending two colors that beautifully interact when light hits the fabric. The metallic threads bring a magical quality, showcasing luminous hues that shift and change depending on your angle. A striking combination could be royal blue and silver, or burgundy and gold, pairings that not only stand out but also elevate the overall look.
This style goes a step further by combining multiple metallic colors, offering a vibrant, kaleidoscopic effect that stands out from the crowd. This option is ideal for people who want to make a bold, lively statement with their outfit.
For a classic and elegant look, neutral tones like gold, silver, or ivory work beautifully, particularly with metallic threads that catch the light. If you’re looking to make a bold statement, rich, vibrant hues like Yoyal Blue, Burgundy, or Emerald can bring a sense of drama and sophistication.
When selecting multiple colors, think about how they interact. Complementary colours, like Magnolia and Gold, or Emerald green and Autumn, create a striking contrast that demands attention. On the other hand, colors that sit close to each other on the color wheel, such as shades of Burgundy and Scarlet, will give your Aso Oke a harmonious, flowing look of oneness.
Patterns are just as important as color when customizing your Aso Oke because they add depth, personality, and meaning to the fabric. The right combination of colors and patterns can elevate your design, making your Aso Oke truly one-of-a-kind and a memorable statement piece at any occasion. There are two types ofpatterns to consider when customising your Aso Oke:
For a timeless, regal feel, vertical patterns offer a structured, elegant look. These can be made with cotton or metallic threads, depending on your preference.
If you’re leaning toward something more intricate, geometric patterns like diamonds, circles, or other shapes add a layer of complexity and artistry to your outfit.
Your pattern choice should reflect your personality. For a wedding, for instance, traditional motifs can symbolize unity and longevity, while more contemporary patterns may be perfect for more modern, fashion-forward outfits.
Choosing custom Aso Oke gives you the freedom to create something truly personal for you. The beauty of customizing lies in the ability to tailor every detail to match your unique vision. Whether it’s for a wedding, a celebration, or a fashion-forward occasion, a custom Aso Oke ensures your fabric is one-of-a-kind, reflecting your individual style and the significance of the moment.
Personal Expression: A custom Aso Oke is a blank canvas for your creativity. You get to select textures, colors, and patterns that resonate with your personality, making the final piece a true reflection of who you are.
Exclusive Designs: No one else will have your exact fabric. Customizing means you’ll stand out, wearing a design that’s exclusive to you and your event. It adds a layer of sophistication and individuality that ready-made fabrics just can’t offer.

With endless combinations of textures, tones, and patterns, you have full control over creating harmony between your outfit and the event atmosphere.
