ABOUT

Introducing the elegant and thought-provoking ‘Dikeleli” collection by Thabo Makhetha.

In celebration of 200 years of the Basotho nation, this collection delves deep into the rich history of Basotho textiles, to a time before the Basotho blankets, when the Bantu clans were renowned for their work with leather.

In developing this collection we have crafted our very own cotton textile,  lighter and more fluid than the traditional wool. The thetana, worn by women during their traditional dances, is reimagined, using recycled materials.

The intricate pattern found in the weave and printed onto the leather is named Dikeledi, in honor of my grandmother. She continues to be a guardian angel in my life and that has greatly influenced my path in this career.
