In Kumasi, me and my friend also visited the adanwomase village. This village is known for making kente from scratch and also having a cocoa bean farm. Not only were we able to see the traditional kente being made, but we were also able to make it ourselves, from start to finish. I ended up buying so many kente for myself and a friend back home. I didnt even know that the sewing of the kente is traditionally done by men!
