Kente Cloth: A Royal Legacy

When you think of African fabrics, Kente cloth is likely one of the first that comes to mind. Originating from the Ashanti Kingdom in Ghana, Kente isn’t just a fabric—it’s a symbol of royalty, wealth, and history. Each Kente piece is handwoven, with patterns passed down through generations. The colors and designs aren’t random; they all have specific meanings. Symbolism: Each kente pattern contains specific meanings and stories, often conveying messages about historical events, proverbs, or values. For example, patterns may symbolize concepts like wisdom, strength, or unity.  Visit the Knowledge base for more information about the Kente cloth and other African fabrics.
