Rayor: Rooted in Tradition, Designed for Today!
In the 1800s, my great-great-grandmother began a legacy in the asooke trade, mastering the art of weaving tradition into fabric. This heritage was passed down to my
great-grandmother, Leye, a visionary who took asooke beyond Nigeria’s borders, adorning influential figures with the richness of Yoruba culture.
Inspired by this legacy, Rayor is a modern revival of timeless craftsmanship. Every bag is a blend of tradition and innovation, designed to celebrate elegance, resilience, and inclusivity. Rayor reinterprets the artistry of asooke, ensuring that its beauty and significance continue to thrive in today’s world. Each piece tells a story—of heritage, empowerment, and style—crafted for the modern woman who values culture with a contemporary twist.
We also create exquisite handcrafted beads, blending tradition, artistry, and elegance to add a unique touch of sophistication to every piece
