About Kente:

“Kente is one of the most recognizable textiles in the world—a brightly colored, handwoven fabric from Ghana, admired for both its beauty and symbolism. The word ‘Kente’ comes from the Akan word ‘kenten’ (Twi spelling: kɛntɛn) meaning ‘basket,’ referring to the similarity between the craft of weaving the fabric, as well as its texture, and that of woven baskets.” “According to legend, two brothers, Opoku Kuragu and Kwakye Ameyaw, observed a spider weaving its web and applied the same technique to fibrous materials like raffia from palm trees to create the first Kente.”

“…Kente is more than fashion: it is a declaration of identity, status, and cultural pride. Each pattern, color, and arrangement tells a story. Understanding Kente means engaging with centuries of Ghanaian heritage, artistry, and philosophy.” (Taken from Kente Cloth – History, Meaning & Symbolism | Adinkra Symbols)
