Ewe Kente Cloth from Ghana, 1970's Vintage, Tribal Woven Textile, Multi-Colored Wall Hanging, African Interior Design, Striped Home Decor

My favorite piece of Ewe cloth, this rainbow palette is what initially drew me to Ewe fabric. The intricacies, colors, and intensity of this piece are unparalleled. What vibrance Africa wears!

This is a large cloth; it would make a beautiful wall hanging or bed spread, and is great for other interior design purposes. It's also strong enough to use as upholstery! Perfect for couches, pillows, ottomans & more!

Approx. Year Made: 1970's
Cloth Strips Used: 19
Approx. Strip Width: 4"
Entire Width: 72.5" (6ft 5")
Entire Length: 133" (11ft 1")

Finished edges all the way around.

Excellent condition except for one small hole (see last picture), and a few strips have slightly separated. These could easily be sewn back together.

This was originally a man's cloth, to be worn wrapped around the body sarong-style. The pattern changes on the edges, to include a brighter yellow section most prominent when worn.

✨Background Details ✨
Ewe cloth comes from the Ewe ("e-vay") people who live in southeastern Ghana and Togo. Ewe cloth is woven on a loom similar to that of the Asante Kente cloth, though Ewe cloth is more elaborate and expressive than the Asante Kente cloth. This is because the Ewe weavers are not confined by the court-regulated designs that the Kente cloth weavers are restricted by. Ewe weavers do their weavings for sale and to take to market and therefore can express themselves freely. These rich cloths are highly collectible due to the intricate patterns and quality of workmanship.

Etymology of the word "ewe" says that one potential origin of the word comes from the strength of the fabric. Ewe means "that which does not tear." The strength of this fabric would make it

All WomanShopsWorld orders ship wrapped in festive tissue, so your order will arrive ready to gift. If you would like us to leave out the receipt, check the "this order is a gift" box at checkout.

If you're looking for something a little fancier:
Select the $4 upgrade at checkout, after checking the "gift" box. Your items will come wrapped in beautiful recycled Indian paper, adorned with assorted ribbon and baubles. If you have preferred color story, include in note section at checkout.

Hmmmm...
with first class international shipping, unfortunately the postal service often will not provide any updates at least until the package reaches its destination country. Sometimes it will not update until it has cleared customs.

Once we drop your goodies off at the post office, we put our trust into those fine people that they will get them to you as quickly as possible. With that said, first class shipping does not provide an estimate of how long it will take to arrive internationally.

In our experience it can take anywhere from 11-30 days, sometimes a little longer. Of course we always cross our fingers in our customer's favor!

Hmmm...
to find out, please click on the tracking number provided in your purchase history. Often the USPS website updates much faster than Etsy's tracing service.

There have been several instances, where Etsy is showing a package as being in "pre-transit" when it is showing as having arrived in its destination city when I go to USPS website!

Unfortunately, no.
All of our business is done online. We are set up in our stockrooms and in our daily schedules to ship, ship ship! As much as we'd love the company, this translates to our warehouse being a beautiful mess that is just not fit for shopping in person.

We've got our goodies listed online and we ship within 1-3 business days. I'd say with the added thrill of receiving a package in the mailbox, it's more fun than shopping in person :-)

Maybe. I accept returns on any un-altered items if you contact me within 3 days of receiving your order. Please contact me BEFORE you return the goods so that I am aware of what items you would like to return.

Please note: Return requests made after 3 days of receipt of goods will incur a 10% restocking fee. Tassel/pompom returns will incur a 20% restocking fee. Sorry guys, but it takes a lot of time to pull them and even more time to put the back!

If the order qualified for free shipping, please be advised that the postage fee may be deducted from refund.

No refunds on ribbons, trims, or fabrics purchased by the yard. Once they are cut for an order, the sale is final.

All Overstock Sale purchases are final.

Absolutely! We offer free shipping on every U.S. order over $35, and only charge for the first item on orders under that amount.

If you need to place more than one order, we'll do our best to combine them and refund any shipping overages.

International shipping is a little trickier, but we try our best to provide accurate shipping guesstimates on each item. Please message us with any questions!
