    This study evaluates consumer perception and acceptability of tie-dye produced from natural and synthetic fabrics for wealth creation in Ilorin metropolis Kwara State Nigeria. Four objectives and one hypothesis were developed and tested at 0.05 significant levels. The R and D design was adopted, and (40) participants were purposely selected for the study. Two instruments were used, a questionnaire-assessed participant perception using (4) point likert scales of strongly-agreed, agreed, disagreed, and strongly-disagreed with a decision point of 2.50, while the score card contained seven (7) point hedonic scale of like extremely, like moderately, like slightly, neither like nor dislike, Dislike slightly, Dislike moderately, Dislike extremely with a decision point of 4.00. The data collected were analyzed with mean, percentage, standard deviation and t-test. The participants evaluated sampled coded tie-dye fabrics for absorbency, color fastness, texture, colour sharpness, appearance, durability and overall acceptability. The findings revealed that the natural tie-dye fabric was the most acceptable with a mean score of 6.87 while the synthetic tie-dye had the lowest with a mean score of 5.22. The findings revealed that natural and synthetic fabrics can be dyed but with variation in colour, texture, and appearance. It was concluded that synthetic fabrics have the characteristics of absorbing dye if the production is properly done and could serve as a means of using cheaper fabrics for wealth creation. Further research should be conducted on other synthetic tie-dye fabrics and how it could be beneficial to consumers in Ilorin metropolis in Kwara State Nigeria.
