Traditional Prints come in a variety of colors and designs. Historically, the motifs used for traditional prints express unique meanings. The designs are significant in context and design and in some instances are worn for specific occasions.
In recent times, authentic Ghanaian woven kente designs have been replicated on printed fabric to make them suitable to be worn as trendy fashion pieces for a younger generation.
