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.

The symbol on this stole is the "Sankofa Bird" which depicts a bird looking backwards while flying forward. The Sankofa Bird on this stole sits on the Golden Throne, which represents Royalty. Sankofa is a Ghanaian word which means "it is not wrong to go back for that which you have forgotten.” The word is a combination of the words: san (return), ko (go), fa (seek and take). “Sankofa” teaches us to go back to our roots in order to move forward.

My stole arrived in a very neat package that included a thank you note, authentication card, a pocket size devotional book and a very sweet card that shared a student’s story of their journey to graduation. The stole itself is beautiful and well made. Unfortunately I did not receive the stole in time for my graduation ceremony because I live in Canada and had to ship it to an American address before it was sent here, but I will definitely take pictures with it. Thank you :)
