ETHNIC

In this section you are introduced to the use of ethnic prints and Adinkra symbols on garments, especially suited to naming ceremonies and special occasions. Adinkra symbols are West African (Ghanaian) symbols which are filled with wisdom and meanings and are particularly suited to naming ceremonies. If you purchase a garment with a symbol, you can also purchase a plaque of what the symbol means.
