Aso
Monumental names, a wax-sealed envelope and an aso-oke weave.
About Aso
Aso means cloth in Yoruba, and this design is dressed in it. An envelope opens to reveal your names set at monumental scale in a single elegant typeface, stepped across the page like an editorial cover. A narrow band of aso-oke strip-weave runs along the hero and the footer. No photographs are needed: the typography and the cloth carry the whole invitation.
How it opens
A deep claret envelope, embossed with lace, waits under a gold wax seal.
Guests tap to open and the seal gives way.
Your names step in at monumental scale, the seal still resting beside them.
The aso-oke band settles beneath, and the invitation continues below.
