Why You’ll Love This Cloth

• Versatile décor use: wall hanging, bed/spread accent, sofa throw
• Collector’s gem  a real piece of African textile art

In Ghana, Ewe Kente is more than fabric  it embodies history, ethics, oral literature, philosophy, moral values, and spirituality. Dating back to the 17th century, it remains a cultural icon today. Woven in fine cotton (and sometimes silk) threads, each motif often depicts animals or proverbs that echo Ewe traditions.

Distinct from Ashanti Kente, Ewe Kente often features earthier hues and geometric or figurative symbols reflecting Volta-region beliefs. Ashanti Kente, in contrast, tends toward brighter color palettes and bolder stripe patterns.

Owning this cloth means owning a tangible piece of Ghanaian heritage  a work of art that speaks volumes.
