Kente refers to a Ghanaian textile, made of handwoven cloth, strips of silk and cotton. Historically the fabric was worn in a toga-like fashion by royalty among the Akan. It originated from Bonwire in the Ashanti region of Ghana. In modern day Ghana, the wearing of kente cloth has become widespread to commemorate special occasions, with highly sought-after kente brands led by master weavers. Due to the popularity of Kente cloth patterns, Kente print, which is a mass-produced version from China, is popular throughout the West. Globally, the print is used in the design of academic stoles in graduation ceremonies.
