We have many traditional wears in my country Ghana but the one I would like to talk about is "
Kente." Kente is the one of world known traditional fabric because of its beauty and its quality. The name or the word kente was derived from a local Akan name called "kenten," that is basket in an Akan language, because of its waving ability. This fabric is common in Ghana but it is famously found in Ashanti Region in a town called Bonwire in the Kwabre District. Because of it beauty and quality it is mostly wear by Kings, chiefs, queen mothers and other noble people in my country. Because of it beauty nature, kente can also wear in every important gathering such as funeral, naming ceremony, marriage ceremony etc. And it is mostly waven with the hands by the help of locally made wooden tool. And it is brought together by needle and thread and which made from cotton wool. There are many kente fabrics in the world but the one in my country is the quality and original one.

How Much Can One Cost
Kente has a beautiful and quality nature and that makes it costly. And it is costly since it is mostly wear by noble people in my country. The price of this clothe or fabric is around Gh¢450.00 to Gh¢500.00. The price is normally based on where you bought it. And the cost of this wear in steem is 200 to 214 steem base on the current steem price. Because of it high quality this particular wear is very expensive.
What is their Durability
Kente has a long last durability since it is mostly made from cotton wool. I don't even know the exact period but kente can stay for a very long time if not burn with fire, steal or been destroyed by yourself for a reason. I will like to recommend kente to everyone.

Kente in other Countries
Kente is mostly recognized among the people of Africa by other foreign countries but it's comes from my country. Not long ago the United States of America, Kente was used in a congress in a proposed incident to reform the cop following the weeks of demonstrations over the the death of African American George floyd who died in the hands of a white police officer.

It seems that these clothes are only used by certain people, both government people and important people in your country.
