Straight from the frame. The same Lustenau machines that have supplied the Lagos exporters for decades, now without the middleman.
One bolt, one shade. Order several lengths and they are cut from the same roll, so a group wears one colour.
A stamped certificate travels in every parcel, naming the dessin, the colourway and the day it was embroidered.

Ordering for a wedding party? Five yards per guest, seven with gele and ipele, ten for agbada. From ten lengths the price per yard drops. How aso-ebi orders work · ask for a group quote.

Feathers, but nothing soft about them.

ÌYẸ́ — "feather" in Yoruba — sends large curling plumes across the fabric in diagonal waves, each one built from dozens of dense embroidered barbs curling off a single spine, set on a sheer tonal ground stitched with dotted lines and tiny crystals. The edge finishes in a scallop of feather tips. It is the loudest lace in the collection and it knows it — made for the entrance, not the exit.

Embroidered on the Sükün family’s schiffli machines in Lustenau, Austria — the town that has made West Africa’s lace since the 1960s. Straight from the frame to you.

Shown here in Lime — as a one-shoulder draped mini with the feather scallop as the hem. Also woven in Aqua, Lilac Grey and Copper Brown; choose from the swatches, the design stays exactly the same.

Before you cut: lay the cloth flat and let it rest overnight. Embroidery is stitched under tension and settles.
Washing: hand wash cold, or dry clean. No bleach, no soaking, no wringing. Guipure and cord lace prefer dry cleaning.
Drying: never in the machine. Roll in a towel, then dry flat in the shade — hanging stretches the ground cloth.
Ironing: low heat, from the back, with a cotton cloth between. Metallic thread and sequins melt.
Storage: rolled, not folded, away from light. A fold line in lace does not come out.

Fibre composition is stated on the cloth as delivered.

On the bolt: cut, labelled and packed in Lustenau within 2–4 working days.
Not on the bolt: we embroider your colour. That takes 2–3 weeks — we tell you within one working day, and you may cancel free of charge.
Transit: Austria 1–2 working days · EU 2–5 · UK, Switzerland, Norway 3–5 · USA and Canada 5–10 · Nigeria, Ghana, Togo, Cameroon 6–14.
Outside the EU import duties are paid at delivery. Full table on the shipping page.
Returns: cloth cut to your length is made to your order and cannot be returned. If the embroidery is faulty or the wrong colour arrives, send a photo to hello@olorilace.com and we replace it or refund it, return postage on us.
