Diakhou Bâ | To honor the epic non-passive Jihadist Maba Diakhou Bâ of Senegal who fought against colonialism.
Made from a new beautiful and extinct Ghanian kente against a beautiful navy blue organic linen. It is stunning and comfortable. The collar in the photo was made large, but we will make a standard collar unless you ask us to make it oversized. Accents of Kente continue on the sleeve and make up our standard-shaped jetted pocket. You are free to substitute this Kente accent for any you have seen elsewhere on our site.
The blue Kente is extinct which is our way of saying it is no longer in production or on sale. We have the last of it, so when this print is gone it is gone. It means in lay terms this topic is extremely exclusive. You might be the only person in your city or country with this top.
