Why You Should Order Your Kente Weeks in Advance: A message from Marrying Ghana Kente

At Marrying Ghana Kente, we believe kente is more than just a fabric, it’s a living symbol of heritage, identity, and craftsmanship. Rooted in centuries of Ghanaian tradition, each strip of kente tells a story, woven patiently by hand and with deep cultural significance. For that reason, we always encourage our clients to place their orders weeks ahead of time. This allows us to deliver kente that is not only beautiful, but also created with the care, precision, and respect it truly deserves.

The most important reason to order early is that authentic kente is entirely handwoven. Unlike printed or machine-made imitations, real kente is produced on traditional looms by skilled artisans who have often inherited their craft from generations before them. Each piece is made row by row, with no shortcuts or mass production involved. Depending on the pattern, size, and complexity, weaving a single order can take anywhere from several days to multiple weeks. When you order ahead, you are giving the weaver the time they need to deliver exceptional quality without being rushed because true craftsmanship takes time.

At Marrying Ghana Kente, we take pride in practicing sustainable, made-to-order production. We don’t keep large inventories or produce excess stock. Instead, we create each piece specifically for the customer who ordered it. This not only reduces waste but also ensures that your kente is custom-made, uniquely yours, meaningful, and handled with integrity from the loom to your doorstep.

Another important consideration is shipping time. For our clients outside Ghana, international delivery can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks depending on location, customs clearance, and courier availability. Even domestic orders require adequate processing, packaging, and delivery coordination. Delays can happen, especially during busy seasons. Early orders give us the breathing room to navigate these logistical steps smoothly and ensure your kente arrives on time for your special day.

Perhaps most importantly, ordering early is a sign of respect for the craft and the culture. Kente weaving is not just a business, it’s a deeply rooted tradition carried by communities, elders, and artisans who pour their skills and spirit into every piece. Rushing this process compromises the quality of the work and undercuts the cultural value that makes kente so powerful and personal.

At Marrying Ghana Kente, we are committed to delivering excellence without compromise. That means creating cloth that is ethically made, lovingly woven, and beautifully finished for your important moments. To make that possible, we kindly recommend placing your order four to six weeks in advance. This timeline allows us to complete your cloth thoughtfully and deliver it with confidence and care.

So as you prepare for your big day, let us walk that journey with you. Place your order early, and wear your kente with pride, knowing that every thread was woven with purpose.  In doing so, you support a fashion model that respects tradition, avoids overproduction, and champions sustainability.
