Handmade Foldable African Ankara and Kente Print Fans

Handmade in Ghana

Material Information: Kente Cloth, Originating from modern-day Ghana holds great cultural significance. Originally, the use of kente was reserved for Asante royalty and limited to special social and sacred functions. Even as production has increased and kente has become more accessible to those outside the royal court, it continues to be associated with wealth, high social status, and cultural sophistication.

The colors of the cloth each hold symbolism: gold = status/serenity, yellow = fertility, green = renewal, blue = pure spirit/harmony, red = passion, black = union with ancestors/spiritual awareness.

Ankara was formerly known as Dutch wax print but the name changed as this type of fabric gained more interest in West African countries.

This kind of fabric is now prominently used in West African countries due to its high quality and durability.

Please note that unless specified in your order a random coloured fan will be chosen for you.
