Protecting, authenticating, and celebrating Ghana’s globally significant Kente weaving traditions. Building on Ghana’s 2025 Geographical Indication recognition to preserve heritage and empower artisans.
Kente is not just a textile — it is a living archive of Ghanaian philosophy, identity, lineage, and storytelling. Each pattern carries centuries of meaning, woven by master artisans in Ghana’s historic weaving communities.
The Kente Registry exists to ensure that this heritage is preserved, that authentic weavers are honoured, and that the world can distinguish genuine Ghanaian Kente from imitations.
Only cloth woven using traditional methods in approved Ghanaian weaving communities can be marketed as “Kente.” We translate this legal protection into a global, accessible digital system.
Aligning with Ghana's Geographical Indication recognition to create a public database of certified weavers and traceable Kente cloth through digital IDs and QR codes.

Recognising master artisans and weaving communities with digital profiles, global visibility, and economic empowerment opportunities.
Becoming the world's most trusted source for authentic Ghanaian Kente through transparency, education, and partnerships with cultural institutions.
Whether you’re a weaver, researcher, collector, or heritage enthusiast, you can be part of preserving authentic Kente for future generations.
