A Rather Splendid Piece of West African Craftsmanship
We must confess, when this hand stitched cloth arrived, we stood about looking rather foolish and impressed in equal measure. The Aso Oke is a genuinely glorious textile from the Yoruba people, a fabric so marvellous it's traditionally reserved for high status occasions and celebrations. Quite the showstopper, really.
Why Choose Our Hand Stitched Aso Oke Cloth Throw
Authentic Handcrafted Quality: Each stitch is beautifully executed on both sides by skilled artisans, creating a properly handsome piece that improves with time and admiration.
Versatile Heritage Design: This fabric holds the same cultural significance as traditional agbada gowns, fila hats, and iro wraps worn across generations. Drape it, display it, or wear it with justified pride.
Conversation Starting Dimensions: At 175 by 140 centimetres, it's generously sized without being fabulously unwieldy, making it rather ideal for throws, wall displays, or styled layering.
Investment in Culture: You're acquiring something with genuine heritage and soul, not merely a decorative object.

THE RATHER IMPORTANT BITS
This rather lovely piece ships directly from our brand partner - we work with independent brands who are absolutely brilliant and work frightfully hard to create beautiful things.
SHIPPING DESTINATIONS
Now, here's the thing - our wonderful brand partners ship to lots of different places, but not all of them can ship worldwide.
Some are brilliant at international shipping, others prefer to keep things closer to home.
At checkout, you'll see exactly where this particular brand can send your goodies.
We're terribly sorry, but shipping costs do vary rather wildly depending on where you are in the world. The exact figures pop up at checkout - no nasty surprises!
RETURNS
You have 14 days to return items.
Now, we absolutely adore our brand partners - they work incredibly hard and we do try to support them as much as we possibly can. So I'm rather afraid we have to pass the return postage costs back to you. Frightfully sorry about that!

Ordering multiple sizes to try at home is rather hard on our planet and makes things jolly difficult for these brilliant independent creators.

We Have Lots More Like This.........
Hello, we are Sostter....
Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?
We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect.
Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience. Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently.
This is just the beginning. But enough about us — step inside, explore our world, and see what catches your imagination.
Giving Back
We’re proud to support Sutton Night Watch, a grassroots UK charity making a real difference in the lives of those facing homelessness. Through regular donations of stock, supplies, and essentials, we back their mission to offer warmth, dignity, and practical help to anyone in need — right where it matters most.
