When you think of planning a Nigerian wedding or a party, the first thing that comes to mind is showcasing the Nigerian culture with gorgeous Aso-Ebi styles and flamboyant colors. Although the Aso-Ebi concept started from Nigeria,many African countries have started to embrace it.
“Aso-ebi makes your event colorful and gives guests a sense of belonging”
Battabox presenter Odunayo speaks to a fabric merchant in Lagos, Nike Atobatele , the CEO of VOS Fabrics who speaks extensively one Aso-Ebi and why Nigerians are so obsessed with it.
“What is in vogue now is tulle lace,” says Nike “A lot of people come to ask for this,” she continues as she shows Odunayo a really beautiful lace fabric
But the major challenge in picking out the perfect Asoebi lies in the variety of styles and colors one has to select from.
“If you want to wear ankara and you don’t want plain ankara, you can go for this,” says Nike
VOS Fabrics has some really beautiful exclusive fabrics like french lace, tulle lace, swizz lace etc and specially made Ankara materials.
For your exclusive Aso-Ebi find Vos Fabrics on 54 Opebi Road Ikeja Lagos, or contact VOS Fabrics Facebook or Instagram @vosfabrics.
Watch and enjoy!

SHARE this video with friends and family.
those fabrics are really beautiful, my mom is soo going to want to visit
her store when I show her this video. Can u make a video showing they make
beads too.
Biko, whose friends are happy to pay for expensive aso ebi Aunty Nike? lol
Anyways, it’s a beautiful culture that definitely makes us stand out.
Everyone loves aso ebi. Great video as always BB
They should consider internationally shipping :)
Seriously, even when one is feeling sinner-ish, one glance and experience
of Odun’s voice and you go and repent. It is a reminder that GOD makes no
mistakes. If Odun sins, it is because of her friends or a disgruntled
neighbor hahahaha.
I am noticing a trend at Battabox. The women wear all the nice shirts,
while Bolly and Timothy are made to wear shoddy red or black T-shirts with
bangles and weird hats.
That Ankara was very beautiful and I must say when African women attend a
special event they are dressed ” to the Nines!!!” Very classy,
sophisticated and sexy!!!
obzest=obsess …Lmaoo
not for europeans,,
Very luxurious. The pink with green are what’s hot here in America right
now
What does “aso” mean? Fabric? I know aso oke is a fabric used for the gele.
And that’s all I know about “aso”. Forgive my ignorance. :-)
