In‑Depth Design Description (based on the attached image)
Color and finish: A refined powder baby blue that feels soft and luxe, catching light beautifully across the ribbed weave. The finish has a gentle shimmer that flatters all skin tones.
Pleated base: The lower portion is tightly pleated, creating a clean, tailored frame around the face. The pleats are uniform, crisp, and symmetrical for an elevated couture look.
Fan‑flare crown: As the pleats rise, they open into an opulent, fan‑like crown approximately 6 inches tall. The edges feature scalloped, laser‑cut‑style perforations that mimic lace, enhancing airflow and lightness while adding drama.
Embellishment: Tiny, precisely placed rhinestones and glitters sparkle across the fan, giving a star‑dust effect that pops in photos and evening light.
Texture: The Aso Oke has a jean‑like, ribbed texture—structured yet flexible—so the crown stands tall and keeps its silhouette without feeling heavy.
Back closure and styling: Discreet Velcro fasteners allow easy on/off and size adjustment. Wear it with the back panel covering the nape for a polished finish or leave hair visible for a modern, editorial look.
Fit, Sizing, and Comfort
fit on most adult head sizes.
Height: Approx. 6 in/15 cm crown height.
Feel: Structured but lightweight, with strong shape retention to stay flawless from ceremony to after‑party.
How to Wear
1. Place the pleated front centered along your hairline.
2. Pull the back panels together and fasten the Velcro to your comfort.
3. For full coverage, keep the back panel closed; for a contemporary twist, allow your hair to show.
Styling Ideas

Care
Spot clean with a soft cloth.
Air dry; store upright to preserve shape.
Keep away from direct heat and heavy pressure.
Cultural History: From Aso Oke to Autogele
Origins: Aso Oke (Yoruba for “top cloth”) is a hand‑woven textile traditionally crafted in southwestern Nigeria, especially in Oyo and Iseyin weaving communities. Historically woven on narrow looms, it’s prized for durability, structure, and prestige.
Classic types:
Sanyan: beige tones woven from wild silk blends.
Alaari: rich crimson or wine hues.
Etu: deep indigo/navy shades.
Gele Significance: The gele is a symbol of elegance, status, and celebration in Yoruba and broader Nigerian culture. Worn for weddings, engagements, naming ceremonies, and festive Owambe, its height and style often express the wearer’s confidence and occasion.
Modern evolution: Contemporary Aso Oke incorporates metallic yarns, new color palettes, and embellishments like rhinestones and cut‑outs. The Autogele (pre‑tied gele) emerged to make the art of gele accessible—delivering the sculptural look without hours of practice, preserving cultural heritage while embracing modern convenience.
