Morena Riet | Brown / Cobalt / Yolk

The Morena – The Basotho People's Daily Crown

Worn with pride across Lesotho’s mountain kingdoms, the Morena blanket is more than warmth—it’s wearable heritage. Favoured for everyday wear yet rich with symbolism, each design tells a story of resilience, home, and identity.

The Morena Collection: Three Sacred Patterns

• Riet (Playing Cards) – Symbolizing strategy and community gatherings
• Mielie (Corncob) – Representing prosperity and sustenance
• Nkoe/Majoe (Leopard Skin/Stones) – Honoring the foundations of Basotho homes (literally "the stones we build with")

Crafted for Generations of Wear

▸ 50% Mountain Wool + 50% Dralon Acrylic – Engineered for:
✓ All-day comfort – Softer than traditional wool
✓ Unshakable durability – Resists pilling & fraying
✓ Ceremonial drape – Flows like the Maluti winds

▸ Colorfast & Fade-Proof – Vibrant as the day it’s woven
▸ Ethically Woven – Made in South Africa from renewable African virgin wool

Sacred Care – Preserve the Legacy

To honor your Morena blanket’s journey:

• Hand wash in cool water (like mountain springs)
• Lay flat on rocks to dry – Never tumble dry
• No iron needed – Naturally wrinkle-resistant
• Store with cedar – Traditional moth protection

"In Lesotho, these patterns aren’t just seen—they’re lived."
