Kente Gentlemen

Kente Gentlemen is an Ivorian brand rooted in cultural heritage and contemporary craftsmanship. Founded by Aristide Loua in 2017, the brand is a tribute to Côte d’Ivoire’s textile traditions, reimagined through modern silhouettes and intentional design. Each piece is tailored in-house, merging traditional handwoven fabrics with a refined, forward-looking aesthetic.

Kente Gentlemen is deeply committed to ethical production and local artisanship, working closely with weavers and tailors to preserve craft while creating garments that speak to identity, pride, and purpose. Through fair-trade collaborations and a dedication to cultural preservation, the brand supports the continuity of Ivorian textile industries and reshapes the global conversation around African fashion.
