ABOUT THE BRAND
Fabric Etcetera Ng is an ethical and sustainable brand dedicated to celebrating the art of fashion through high-quality hand-woven fabrics, specifically Aso Oke. Founded in 2018 by Creative Director Olamide Afsat Adams, the brand began with the mission of serving both local and international clients through fabric sourcing, Aso Ebi concierge, and bridal styling. The company established its reputation by customizing and producing hand-woven (Aso Oke) fabrics, and the name, “Fabric Etcetera,” reflects its commitment to offering “Fabrics and More.”
A year after, the brand transitioned from being a fabric vendor into a fully-fledged Bridal couture fashion brand where it serviced discerning couples with bespoke Traditional Aso Oke Outfits, Contemporary Bridal couture and Custom-made pieces for special events. While Aso Oke production serves as the foundation, the brand is deeply rooted in culture with a touch of new school fashion savviness and has gained credibility in creatively blending tradition with modern aesthetics. This unique approach reflects and honors the rich cultural heritage of Western Nigeria, allowing us to create pieces that tell a story while transcending trends. At Fabric Etcetera, authenticity and originality are the core values driving the brand, which has attracted clientele from prominent countries and cities around the world. As part of our services, we offer a complete styling service for all of our brides by curating iconic wedding looks that perfectly reflect their personalities.
We are deeply dedicated to enhancing your bridal journey with personalized service with exquisite craftsmanship, ensuring you look and feel graceful, confident and radiant on your special events.
