Blanket Parlour

17/07/2026

Today, we celebrate the birthday of His Majesty King Letsie III, a day that brings Basotho together in honour of our Kingdom, our people and the values that have shaped us through generations.

The Basotho blanket has long been a quiet symbol of who we are. Worn with pride, passed from one generation to the next, it carries our history without saying a word.

On this special day, we honour the traditions that continue to unite us and the beauty of our shared heritage.


Happy Birthday to His Majesty King Letsie III 🇱🇸.

Meet Lerato Masao , one of Aranda’s Young Basotho Designers for the class of 2026

Lerato Masao, proudly born and raised in Motimposo, Maseru. The fourth child in a family raised by a strong single mother, alongside his twin sister, two brothers, and three sisters.

Lerato's journey into graphic design began after completing matric in 2022. Inspired by his older brother, who is a graphic artist, he discovered his passion for design while working in the photography business. What started as curiosity quickly became love. He began learning alongside his brother and sharpened his skills through dedicated practice and YouTube tutorials.

When he saw the Facebook post calling for young Basotho designers to be part of the Aranda collection, he decided to take a chance.

More than manufacturing. It’s about heritage and adventure, too.

Still made here - Still employing over 500 South Africans and still choosing local when the world chooses cheap imitations.

This is more than manufacturing. This is heritage. This is home. This is job creation. This is Aranda!

More than Manufacturing. It’s About Heritage & Adventure. It’s been a very busy and exciting season here at Aranda Textile Mills. A blanket is never just a blanket. It’s the first thing that holds us when we arrive in the world. It warms our milestones, traditions and becoming. For 72 year...
