  THE BEST AND STYLISH KENTE STYLES IN 2019

Kente Design Type 1(Edwen si Edwen so kente)

This type of kente has its design closely woven together. With this type, the weavers use their hands and the loom to bring the colors and design to life.

To give you a picturesque explanation, imagine being asked to make a stunning fitting dress worthy of the Oscar’s Red carpet. Difficult right? But its end result is so worth it.

Take a look at the lady’s kente in the picture. You will see that the colors red, blue,yellow and white colors are closely woven together. The designs being close without any space in between is what we call “edwen si edwen so” meaning they are on top of each other.

Asante Kente

Unlike the “edwen si edwen so” kente where the designs are closely woven together with both the hand and the loom, the asante kente is made solely with the loom and thread. Thus it makes it easier to weave.

Take a look at some beautiful asante kente designs.

When you look at the asante kente designs, you will see that the designs are different than the “edwen si edwen so “.

One thing worth noting is that, both the asante and edwen designs are made with the same type of threads. The only difference us the style of weaving. Thus why their prices differ too.

THE ABSOLUTE BEST AND STYLISH KENTE STYLES

These are the best and stylish kente styles. They are absolutely show stoppers. Kente cloth dress these days can not be ruled out of African dress styles.

In this post I will be showing current kente styles that are rocking the kente fashion industry.

How is kente made?

Kente is woven on ancient hand looms. They operate the loom with their hands and feet. The needle, which tread the wrap are placed between the toes.

A shuttle passing from the left hand to the right hand in deft movement inserts the weft. Simultaneous with the action comes the Kente loom music, a well known noisy Kro-hin-kro … Kro-hin-kro.

 

This rhythm made by the reverberating shuttle as they entwine the coloured yarns smoothly over one another to produce the dazzling double – weave strips of cloth, eight feet long by four inches wide. The strips are sewn together to make the required sizes. Source: Bonwire kente

FEATURES OF KENTE

Kente is becoming more and more popular these days especially in the western world. The most popular kente cloth style in the western countries is the kente stole. The word kente originates from the Akan word “kenten” which when translated into English, it means a woven basket.

 

Kente is a very popular cloth in the western part of Africa especially in Ghana where it originally comes from. Kente dresses and cloth are mostly worn on special occasions to symbolise the rich culture. It would suprise you to know that kente is woven with the intensions and emotions of the weaver.
