Each cape is made using one genuine Basotho traditional blanket, hand-cut, meticulously produced with hand-stitched finishes. Our signature cut Each woven blanket motif carries specific symbolic meanings.
We specifically use the Kharetsa blanket weave which is inspired by the spiral aloe endemic to the Maluti Mountains in Lesotho. This central image is surrounded by the shield motif and iconic Basotho hat. 


This generous cut is unfitted and can be worn closed (revealing the shield-like motif) or open.  This investment cape is a timeless statement piece with a fascinating history behind the evolution of the Basotho blanket.
