How to Check Your Kente Cloth For Authenticity
Authentic Kente Cloth is a handwoven work of art made in Ghana, West Africa. Traditionally, Kente Cloth was worn exclusively by kings and queens in Ghana and is crafted by master weavers. Today, Kente weaving continues to provide income for generations of artisans and supports Black-owned businesses.
As authentic Kente stoles have gained popularity, counterfeit versions have become more common. These machine-made imitations from China are not handwoven in Africa and misrepresent true Kente Cloth. Furthermore, they appropriate the work of African artisans and mislead African American graduates into believing they are wearing an authentic stole.
Don’t compromise on your special day. Ensure you receive genuine Kente Cloth, crafted in the tradition of African royalty, by purchasing directly from us. Honor the heritage of African artists and support authentic craftsmanship.
