Start with the cloth.
Colourways
The same dessin, ninety ways.
Every pattern runs in its own colour range — cobalt, marigold, raspberry, emerald, wine, mint, gold. You pick the shade, we cut the length from that bolt.
One bolt, one shade
Order several lengths and we cut them from the same roll, so the whole party wears the identical colour. 5 yards per guest, 7 with gele and ipele.
Cut and packed in Lustenau
Austria 1–2 working days · EU 2–5 · UK and Switzerland 3–5 · Nigeria, Ghana, Togo 6–14. Tracked, in one piece, never folded.
A stamped certificate inside
Every parcel carries a card naming the dessin, the colourway and the day it was embroidered — so you can tell the real cloth from a copy.
The mill
From the frame, not from a middleman.
682 needles, one pass, twelve metres at a time — on the same Lässer and Saurer frames that have supplied the Lagos exporters since the 1960s. Until now everything went through them. Now it comes straight to you.
Aso-ebi
One wedding, one cloth.
ẸBÍ means family. The same embroidery run on two grounds, so the whole party wears one colour and each guest keeps her own cut. We cut the group from a single bolt, so the shade sits the same on everyone.
The Circle
First off the frame.
