Kente cloth comes from a textile practice that originated in Ghana centuries ago. The fabric has come to symbolize cultural affiliations from West Africa across the diaspora, but legend has it that a spider spinning a complex web inspired the earliest kente techniques and designs.

Weaving kente cloth is a cultural tradition of the Asante (also known as Ashanti) people, and these fabrics were originally used exclusively to dress kings and their courts. Each block, pattern, and colour has a distinct name and meaning, and the cloth often includes adinkra symbols, which represent concepts or sayings.

Traditional kente is woven together with cotton and silk, commercial kente is created through the process of wax printing.

The Kente cape is a minimalistic take on the traditional royal garment. incorporating a golden cowrie shell motif (which represents wealth and abundance) through the tulle pays homage to the adinkra symbol.
