Aranda, in collaboration with Mmamokete Shea, are proud to announce the launch of the official King’s Birthday blanket for 2025.
Celebrated as a national holiday in Lesotho, the King’s Birthday is hosted by a different district each year. In 2025, the honour goes to Berea. The Berea King's Blanket 2025 is a tribute in honour of His Majesty King Letsie III’s 62nd birthday and depicts motifs which represent the district where the celebrations will take place.
The designer:
Mmamokete Shea, a respected businesswoman and owner of Fashion Blanket in Maseru, Lesotho, was commissioned by the Berea district chiefs to design this year’s commemorative blanket. Her design pays homage to the cultural heritage of the region while honouring the significance of this national celebration.
The design:
At the centre of the blanket is the iconic Mokorotlo (Basotho hat), symbolising national pride. Surrounding it are key elements that represent the Berea district: an eagle, a man with a shovel, and a lion’s head—each motif carrying deep meaning and connection to this district.
