BIRTHDAY PHOTOSHOOT INSPIRATION: FULL ASOOKE OUTFIT

Hello everyone, I’m back again with another banger lol! It’s the complete asooke set for photoshoots. Before now full asooke set was known to be used for Yoruba traditional weddings and not for anything else probably because of the texture of the asooke fabric which is not very comfortable for most people because some people complain of the fabric weight while some complain that it radiates heat or scratch their bodies but recently it seems there’s a change/shift as lots of gorgeous women now use complete asooke set for photoshoots like birthdays, wedding anniversaries and even church Thanksgiving.

I noticed that most people use the COTTON ASOOKE for the complete set because the cotton asooke is a breathable fabric and skin friendly. Also the mix of beautiful threads colors makes the cotton asooke stunning and gives this stunning cultural yet classy look.

Let’s see some beautiful women in super stunning colors and designs of asooke complete set. And by complete set, I mean the total outfit which is buba( top), iro (wrapper), ipele and gele (headtie):

What do you think about the complete asooke set rave? Will you be rocking it? What colour or design do you prefer?

Please share your thoughts in the comments

LOOM ASOOKE

Hello Gorgeous People,
Today’s post is about the ancient and very famous Asooke fabric.
The Asooke fabric is known all over the world and has been infused into contemporary fashion by various fashion designers.
It’s is locally woven here in Nigeria and some other parts of Africa in fact we now have Asooke fabrics from China! You know the Chinese people can produce or replicate anything in the world but when it comes to the Asooke fabric, the best is from our local African weavers.

The regular Asooke that we know normally come in stripes. A set of Asooke has 8 stripes in the pack which can be used to make gele, ipele (for a woman) and one or two caps (for a man).
Three stripes of the set is stitched together to make one gele (Head gear), four stripes is stitched together to make one ipele (for the shoulder) and the remaining one will make a cap or two depending on the length of the Asooke.
The regular length of  Asooke is 90 inches and each stripe width is about  4inches.

But now the fashion world is improving and evolving all over the world and the Asooke fabric is not left out hence my post today on the LOOM ASOOKE.

Its a new dimension of weaving Asooke fabric which a lot of  people do not know about. The Loom Asooke is woven straight into the gele (headgear) size which means you don’t need to stitch 3stripes together like I explained earlier. Its just like ready to wear!
And also the ipele is made straight into the normal size, no stitching/joining involved.

The loom Asooke is the rave of the moment for those who know and it can be made as plain, multicoloured, metallic ,soge or even onjawu.
You can also ‘spice ‘ it up by applying blings on it or tack some beads or sequence on it in various design as a bride or party guests.

Let’s look at some samples of the loom Asooke and don’t forget to call/WhatsApp 07033040834 or send a mail to theasoebijunkie@gmail.com to place orders for your Loom Asooke for personal use and party Asoebi quantity in whatever color or combination.
