Iota Kente Stoles

Gold Coast Africa is well-known for its high-quality kente cloth. Each strip is handwoven on a loom by a master kente weaver in Ghana, West Africa, taking as long a day to complete a stole. A full 72-in long and about 4-1/4 inches wide, Gold Coast Africa brand kente stoles are longer and fuller than most others. They use  the highest quality imported rayon weaving thread for bright colors and a lustrous sheen. Their stoles are characterized by the tightness of the weave which creates a firm "hand", or stiffness that is not found on other flimsier kente stoles. The   lettering, perhaps the most noticed part of the stole, is neatly and meticulously rendered.   The stripes are straight and even, and the cloth runs straight its entire length.
