What is authentic Kente Cloth?
Authentic Kente Cloth is a handwoven work of art made in Ghana, West Africa. Kente Cloth was traditionally only worn by Kings and Queens in Ghana and is created by master craftsmen. Kente Cloth provides income to generations of master craftsmen and supports black businesses. There are a lot of graduation stole options to choose from so rather than writing a thousand words explaining why Sankofa Edition's authentic Kente Cloth is so special, we decided to create a video instead. This video will show you the skill and craftsmanship that goes into each Kente Cloth graduation stole we make and why each piece is a work of art. We hope you enjoy it!
Our Kente Cloth is authentic. You can tell by checking the hand-embroidery details on the back of the cloth.

Black Grads Matter Class of 2022 Authentic Handwoven Kente Cloth Graduation Stole
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review! We're glad you liked your order!
I ordered two Black Grads Matter and 3 Overcomer Cords for my graduating twin grandchildren and one cord for their Mother who did such a great job raising them and overcoming obstacles thrown in her way. I found your site on Google and was duly impressed by the time and effort that went into describing your product. I knew it was the one when I saw Sankofa Edition. You did not disappoint. The package arrived when you said it would. The packaging with the Certificate of Authenticity, sticker and history were the cherry on the top! And the quality of the stoles and the cords–extraordinary. I will present them to my daughter and grandtwins using your videos that explain the significance and introduces the Ghanaian designer. Very well done, Mr. Butler. I have already recommended you and will continue to. Will be back in 4 years for their college stoles. No doubt. Oh, and thanks for the tassel. I'll keep it as my momento of their graduation. Thank you for the pleasure of imbibing the whole experience. And that's really what it was from the time I discovered your site until the products arrived–an experience!
