Meet Ama: Third-Generation Kente Weaver in Bonwire

Bonwire is where Kente was born — and where Ama learned to weave at her grandmother's side. Today she panels our bomber jackets and maxi dresses, choosing each colourway with the eye of someone who knows what the cloth is meant to say.

When you commission a Kente piece through Afrikainme, you are not buying from a warehouse. You are commissioning Ama directly. She sets her price, we handle payment and shipping, and a share of every order returns to the schools and orphanages in her community.
