Kente Creatives

Founded by Danielle Nartey-Nevin in 2019, Kente Creatives was a culmination of Danielle's own heritage and her desire to bring Ghanaian culture and design back to her home in the UK.

Kente Creatives showcases the finest quality of handmade crafts and promotes ethical & sustainable businesses in West Africa by supporting local tradesmen and women.

The Origins of
Kente Cloth

Although the exact origins of kente are lost in time, the colorful patterned fabrics known as kente can be traced back to the Asante people of the Akan kingdom in what is now Ghana. The word "kente" actually translates to "handwoven cloth" in the Twi language of the Akan people.

Kente is deep-rooted in Ghanaian culture and can be found in West African communities all around the world.
