Fathia Elegance

Named Fathia, an Egyptian woman's name, this wrap scarf displays the vibrant geometric motifs characteristic of traditional kente cloth. It is woven by hand from a cotton blend to create a single strip of kente fabric. From Rachel Armah, it showcases traditional West African motifs.

Each strip of kente cloth requires considerable effort, and the looms are worked with both hands and feet. Each color has its own meanings in Asante culture. Green is fertility and new harvest, gold is royalty, black is strength, aging and spirituality, and white is purity.
