Basotho Blankets

The Basotho Heritage Blankets are recognised the world over as the iconic

wearing blanket of Southern Africa. The tradition, culture and custom of the

revered blankets tells the story of Lesotho, a nation steeped in pride. During

the mid-1800’s King Moshoeshoe I, the founder of the Basotho nation, was

gifted a blanket which he draped around his shoulders and so began the

blanket wearing tradition. The country’s rich history is woven into every

fibre of these striking and beautifully crafted blankets.
