The Artwork
Character is Beauty’ is the English interpretation of a popular (and one of my favourite) Yoruba proverbs) – Iwa Lewa. The proverb encourages us to consider that beyond the superficial, beyond appearance, and beyond the facades. Who you are and what you do is your real beauty.
Proverbs have always provided a powerful means of communicating knowledge, experience, beliefs, and concepts. With the Yoruba people and culture growing worldwide, these proverbs, and others of African origin, are gifts to the world.

About The Maker
Aṣọ is a lifestyle brand that creates clothing, stationery, jewellery and accessories inspired by Africa. Aṣọ means ‘cloth’ in Yoruba, which they use as metaphor to symbolise the distinct communities of the African diaspora around the world being cut from the same fabric.
Founder Nathaniel was inspired to create the brand after travelling to South America and getting to understand the immense diversity of black communities that exist around the world. Aṣọ has since made regular appearances at Africa Fashion Week, Afropunk and Africa Utopia.
