Luxury Ghanaian womenswear brand S.H.E by Bena presents her ‘Ohemaa‘collection which is inspired by the diverse authenticity of the interwoven tribal fabric “Kente”.
Typical of the Ghanaian brand, the S.H.E By Bena collection is class personified, with well structured and detailed pieces, intricately styled and matched to provide the perfect balance and to highlight the vibrancy of the Kente fabric without being over excessive.
The colours of the Kente fabric have significance to them; they have a reflective and clear meaning. The brand’s creative designer Sheelah Garbarah shared the meaning and name of each of the woven fabrics, highlighting the essence of each combination and what they reveal.
