This blanket pays homage to Basotho women for their artistic use of Litema which are the geomatric patterns they use to decorate their huts. A man can build a house but only a woman can build a home. As a token of appreciation this design celebrates their strength, resilience and patience. The interlocking patterns signify how women hold our families together. The iconic maize which is Lesotho’s staple food has been placed at the centre of the design to tie together the old and new while showing how women are the backbones of our society. Size: 155x165cm Fabric: 50% Wool 50% Acrylic Care: The best way to wash is to hand wash with coarse salt (the salt removes the dirt and keeps the fabric soft).
