Ensure you're wearing authentic Kente Cloth by purchasing directly from us on this website.
Every Sankofa Edition kente stole is woven by hand on a traditional loom in Ghana, one at a time. A single kente stole can take a master weaver up to four hours, and the embroidery is stitched by hand after the weaving is done. Turn one over and you can see it — the weave runs through both sides.
Kente was once worn only by kings and queens, and the craft has passed down through generations of Ghanaian weavers. The artisans who make your kente stole are paid for that skill. Buying one keeps a loom running in Ghana and supports a Black-owned business here.
Order directly from us and you know what you’re getting: real handwoven Kente, made by the people who have always made it.
