Ghana's government has made a significant move by granting Kente cloth GI status, meaning only cloth woven in designated Ghanaian communities can legally be called Kente.
- Bonwire
- Adanwomase
- Kpetoe
- Agbozume
These communities are now the only authentic sources of Kente cloth, joining the ranks of protected brands like French Champagne and Italian Parmesan.
Only the real, handwoven fabric from these communities counts as genuine Kente now.
Ghana's first GI product is a significant achievement, protecting the cultural heritage and traditional craftsmanship of its people.
