Aso oke, reimagined — Lagos
Origin — LagosFounded — 2014Pieces on the floor — 3
Founded by Adunni Bakare in a studio off Awolowo Road, Atelier Adunni reworks the woven cloth of the Yoruba — aso oke — into contemporary ready-to-wear. The cloth is loomed by a cooperative of twelve weavers in Iseyin; every garment is finished in the Lagos atelier.
We don't weave aso oke to preserve it. We weave it because it's the most beautiful cloth we know how to make.
