Bogolan accent

Kente Heritage Collection

A Kumasi strip run as a seam line through ivory and obsidian tailoring.

The story

A Kumasi strip run as a seam line through ivory and obsidian tailoring.

Every piece in Kente Heritage Collection carries a Bogolan accent — malian mud-cloth geometry, hand-dyed and set as trim, facing or inlay. The rest of the build is drawn from the wider world: kente stripe, egyptian cotton, italian wool.

Cut in limited runs, finished by hand, and numbered inside the placket. One world. Many cultures. One vibe.

Malian mud-cloth geometry, hand-dyed and set as trim, facing or inlay.

Client notes

  • ★★★★★

    The cloth is heavier than expected in the best way — it hangs like tailoring.

    S. Kouassi

  • ★★★★

    Wore it to a wedding in Accra and to a board meeting in Paris. Both read correctly.

    A. Mensah

  • ★★★★★

    The accent detailing is hand-finished. You can feel where the loom stopped.
