The Kente fabrics

Kente, the rich, brightly coloured and (intensively) patterned silk/cotton cloth was (basically) only popular with West African royalty. On the local scene, the youth did not care much about Kente because it was, either too expensive, too old fashioned (i.e. something for the elderly) or as shroud for the dead. On the international scene also Kente had very little patronage.

Presently, this situation has changed, largely due to the foresight of African-Americans who have adopted Kente as the symbol of their ties to their mother continent. Locally, the youth generally have also now accepted the colourful masterpiece and see it a an integral part of fashion.
