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.

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, with the text woven directly into the fabric as the stole is created. 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.
