Meba Wo Abrokyere fabric, made for celebrations

Meba Wo Abrokyere is one of the best-loved names in Ghanaian fabric. Its bold kente-style blocks, stripes and Adinkra symbols are worn for weddings, engagements, church anniversaries, festivals and family gatherings, and its black and red designs are the traditional choice for funerals and remembrance.

Our Meba Wo Abrokyere is embroidered, not printed: the pattern is stitched onto cotton with metallic yarn, so it has real texture, depth and a soft shine that holds up in tailoring and wear.

Which colours are used for funerals?

Black and red is the traditional mourning combination in Ghana. See our black and red and tone-on-tone black designs in this collection.

Can you make my own colours or design?

Yes. From 100 pieces per design our design team can change colours or develop a new pattern for you. Samples are available on request.
