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.

When I received my kente stole in the mail, I cried. I'm really graduating from college and the stole really made it real. My grandparents would be really proud of me. I am so proud to be walking with my kente stole. Thank you. - Barbette Thames, Class of 2020

Customer Reviews
I was extremely satisfied..am considering order one for each of my daughters senior classmates. They will be taking a group picture. Will send you a copy or upload to media once taken. Thank you so much for keeping tradition alive. I did not have one. What a difference it would have made in my swagger walking to my well earned degree. Thanks again.
Thank you for making us a part of the tradition! We appreciate your support. Congratulations to your daughter and the entire batch!
Super happy with my purchase it came really quickly and the quality is great! I was looking on Amazon for a stole but none of them were selling 2023 grad stoles yet and I was skeptical about the quality from ordering on Amazon. Super happy I decided to go directly to the Sankofa website to order from them!
