Kente is one of the traditional fabrics used ceremonially by several ethnicities in Ghana.

Before now, kente had been the reserve of the royals and well-to-do people in Ghana. However, in the course of promoting made in Ghana goods, the fabric has become one of the most popular and most recognisable patterns in the world today.

Nowadays, the fabric is being used for more than ‘special occasions’ as a new wave of kente inspired designs sweep the nation and world at large.

Believe it or not, you can now wear your kente in a bikini and the following 10 amazing photos will prove why this new development is welcome.
