We humbly explain that the name Oyelakin is a royal Nigerian Yoruba name.  Thus it's only right that we have the final design of our winter collection designed in Nigerian top cloth.  Pottery and Aso Oke are both ancient African Crafts.  The background of this dinnerware is designed with the authentic Yoruba, Sanyan Aso Oke (pronounced ah-shaw-okay). Accented in the foreground with beautiful coral beads chained with luxurious 24k gold plated 🔥. In the center is the Gangan drum aka the talking drum. We then proceeded to design the drumstick wrapped in giraffe fur. This is a masterpiece.
