Mixed Kente hoodie - Material 70% cotton 30% Polyester - Wash at 30 degrees Handmade by African Lov'it Fashion based in Germany. The History of Kente 🇬🇠Kente is a multi-colored cotton fabric, believed to have once been made from raffia. The first written mention of the name kente (in the form 'kintee') dates from 1847 where it is used to describe a fabric located in the town of Popo in present-day Togo. It would be an Ewe fabric, the name of one of the two main ethnic groups to which the authorship of the fabric is attributed, the other being the Ashanti of Ghana. According to traditions noted among the Ewe of Ghana, the word is broken down in the Ewe language into the verbs ke and te meaning 'open' and 'close' respectively, which describe the raising and lowering of the warp threads necessary for weaving. According to an Ashanti tradition, the fabric was originally made of raffia, a material also used to make baskets and mattresses whose name was formerly kenten and kete. Another Ashanti version would make it a phrase in this language meaning 'whatever happens to it, it will not be torn apart.
