Story

A fabric store built for the real needs of Lagos designers

At 1st Delightsome Fabrics , we specialise in premium African textiles — from French and Swiss lace to Ankara, Aso-oke, and suiting materials. Based on the streets of Ikeja, we serve individual buyers, fashion designers, and ready-to-wear brands who need consistent quality without the runaround.

At 1st Delightsome Fabrics , we believe that the right material is the foundation of every great outfit. Founded with a deep love for African textile craftsmanship, we curate fabrics that blend contemporary fashion demands with the timeless beauty of traditional weaves and lace. Whether you're sourcing for a bridal aso-ebi, a ready-to-wear production run, or a one-of-a-kind design, you'll find exactly what you need in our full collection .

Every bolt of fabric on our shelves has been hand-selected for weight, drape, colourfastness, and finish. We work directly with trusted mills and importers to bring you materials that photograph beautifully, wear comfortably in the Lagos climate, and hold up after repeated washing. No compromise on quality — that's a standard we've kept from day one.

Our commitment goes beyond selling fabric. We're invested in supporting local fashion — by keeping deep stock, offering honest pricing, and employing staff who can guide you to the right material for your specific design. When you choose 1st Delightsome, you're choosing a supplier that treats your craft with the same seriousness you do.

Hand-Inspected Quality

Every fabric is checked for weight, finish, and colour consistency before it reaches our shelves.

Transparent Pricing

Fixed prices across the board — the tag price is the checkout price, whether you buy 2 yards or 200.

Deep Local Stock

Curated for the Lagos market — so when aso-ebi season or a production deadline hits, we have what you need.

Quality & Sourcing

Fabrics sourced with purpose, stocked for the craft

We work directly with reliable mills and importers to bring you materials that meet the practical demands of fashion production in Nigeria. Every piece — from French lace to hand-woven Aso-oke — is evaluated for drape, durability, and how well it photographs and wears in real life.

We also believe in responsible sourcing: favouring suppliers with ethical labour practices, minimising overstock waste through thoughtful buying, and packaging orders in a way that reduces unnecessary material. Quality and conscience don't have to be in conflict.

Commitments

What we stand for

We inspect every bolt before it hits our shelves. If the weight, colour, or finish doesn't meet our standard, it doesn't come in — simple as that.

No hidden markups, no negotiation theatre. Our prices are fixed and transparent — the same whether you're buying 2 yards or a full roll.

We source from suppliers who value ethical labour and fair trade. Mindful buying also means we avoid overstocking to reduce waste across our entire operation.

We actively support Lagos fashion by keeping reliable stock for designers and brands, training staff who genuinely understand fabric, and showing up for the community we serve.
