The Elelloang Basali (Be Aware Women) Weavers are a partnership of Basotho women who weave mohair rugs, tapestries, bags, table mats, and knit mohair jackets. Their beautiful, high quality weavings, which have been washed, mothproofed, dyed, woven and finished in their Lesotho studio, using local hand-spun mohair, will add a unique touch to your home or office and make wonderful gifts! Since 1997, they have been working to take control of their lives and improve the quality of life for their children. The proceeds from every purchase you make go back to them, all Basotho women, to help them pay school fees and medical bills, and additional income goes to the development of the weaving partnership. Designs celebrate the Basotho cultural heritage through the revival of Basotho Litema patterns (originally drawn into the walls of traditional Lesotho homes) depictions of the ancient Bushmen rock paintings throughout the region, and illustrate rural village life. Lesotho, the "Kingdom in the Sky", is a land of beautiful sandstone buttes, fossilized footprints, traditional song and dance, and breathtaking mountain vistas. Experience and remember this world through their weavings! They specialize in custom orders and company logos and we also ship abroad. Please come visit our workshop and showroom in Teyateyaneng.
