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

You can customize this kente stole by adding your own embroidery (most malls have a shop that can do it for you). This is a fun DIY project. These make a great graduation gift as you can add a graduate's name, fraternity/sorority letters, or school logo.
