BEHIND THE
CRAFTSMANSHIP

TAPESTRY WALL HANGINGS

SOUTH AFRICA & LESOTHO TEXTILE WEAVING

Creating a handwoven wall tapestry takes weeks or months, depending on its complexity. Inspired by Lesotho’s landscapes, Basotho Litema patterns, and South African cultural narratives, our collection features women, mothers, and horseback riders in striking designs. Made from ethically sourced wool and mohair, naturally dyed, each purchase supports the women weaving cooperatives, preserving these traditions.

Artisanal Process

Sketching the Design: Some artisans freehand, while others use traditional motifs passed down generations.
Material Selection: Locally sourced Merino wool and mohair, hand-dyed with non-toxic, natural dyes for rich tones.
Weaving Techniques: Lesotho weavers use warp-faced weaving for texture, while South African weavers use flat and pile weaving for intricate storytelling.
Finishing: Each tapestry is trimmed, washed, and detailed with fringe or embroidery.
