Choosing between a ready-made and custom Kente graduation stole comes down to the design you want and the decisions still to be made. An existing design can be a good fit for a single graduate or a group. A custom request is useful when the pictured options do not match your school, organization, or celebration.
Choose ready-made when the pictured design fits
Start with the product photos and description. Check the lettering, graduation year, colors, and symbols. If those details are right for your occasion, purchasing the existing design avoids creating a new design specification.
For example, graduates can view our Class of 2027 Kente stole options. Chapters can browse the fraternity and sorority collections. Check current price and availability on each product page.
Discuss custom when you need different details
A custom request lets you discuss school colors, an organization name, graduation year, wording, and symbols with our team. Begin with a short design brief: describe the occasion, share the exact text, and include a reference if it helps explain your preferred layout.
Do not assume every requested element is available or included at a standard price. We will discuss the design and confirm the details in your quote before you order. Our custom-order page explains how to begin.
Compare the full order cost
For a direct online purchase, use the displayed product price and applicable checkout shipping. For a group quote, use the confirmed quantity rate and shipping terms. Unique Sashes quoted group rates include free shipping to the 48 contiguous United States.
When comparing sellers, check that the prices cover equivalent designs, quantities, personalization, and delivery terms. A low advertised starting price may cover a different product than the one your group needs. Ask for the total for your actual requirements.
Allow time for the choice you make
Ready-made availability can change. Custom or temporarily out-of-stock items may require up to four weeks for production and delivery. For either option, share the date you need the stole if your order is time-sensitive.
For a group, collect member choices early and appoint one person to confirm the final design. Our group-order checklist can help you prepare.
