Kente Cloth: 400 Years of Ghanaian Royal Heritage

Kente cloth is the most celebrated African textile — a hand-woven fabric of the Ashanti Kingdom of Ghana, worn by kings and chiefs for over 400 years. Every colour and pattern carries meaning: gold represents royalty and wealth, green represents growth and renewal, red represents political passion and sacrifice.

Afropop Socks celebrates Kente cloth heritage with bold designs stocked at Tate Modern, V&A Museum, and the Smithsonian NMAAHC.
