Beware of counterfeit Kente Stoles on other websites. Ensure you're wearing authentic Kente Cloth by purchasing directly from us on this website.
Authentic Kente Cloth is a handwoven work of art made in Ghana, West Africa. Kente Cloth was traditionally only worn by Kings and Queens in Ghana and is created by master craftsmen. Kente Cloth provides income to generations of master craftsmen and supports black businesses.
Since gaining popularity, our authentic kente stoles have been increasingly counterfeited. These imitation stoles, machine-made in China, are not handwoven in Africa and misrepresent true kente cloth. Moreover, they appropriate the work of African artists and mislead African American graduates into believing they are wearing authentic kente cloth. Don't compromise on your special day. Ensure you're getting authentic Kente Cloth, made in the tradition of African kings and queens and honoring the heritage of African artists, by buying directly from us.

This Kente Cloth is called Sika Futuro which translates to "Gold Dust". It was created for a King who wanted to be clothed in gold. Because it would be impractical to wear gold, the weaver who created this design weaved gold threads into the pattern. This kente cloth, which can take a Master Weaver up to 4 hours to weave by hand, is rich in meaning and symbolism - carrying a pattern and design that has been passed on for hundreds of years.
Be sure that you are wearing genuine Handwoven Kente Cloth by buying directly from us. This Sankofa Edition™ Brand Kente Stole is made in Ghana and provides income to hundreds of skilled workers. Each package includes a Certificate of Authenticity and Sankofa Edition™ logo medallion sticker.

While seasarching around for Kinte cloth to wear on my doctoral robe next year for graduation, I was actually looking for something a bit non-traditional Kinte. I attended Rice High School in NYC a long time ago and our beloved alma mater was closed in 2011 due to budget cuts and so forth. The school was in existence from 1938 to 2011. It was a private Catholic institute for young men and had gained a dual reputation as an elite college prep school as well as a basketball powerhouse. (Just a little background)
Those of us who are still alive and active have pledged to support our brothers, living and gone from us by taking every opportunity to rock the "Green and Gold", our school colors, so when I saw that sash, it was absolutely perfect, with socks to match! When I walk across the stage next year to formally be acknowledged for my doctorate, I will carry my brothers with me.
Thank you, Sakofa Edition. Thank you.
God bless you all,
Marv Reid, EdD
