Lesotho

Lesotho hats. Look for the distinctive mokorotlo, a cone-shaped hat made of woven straw that is part of the Sotho traditional dress. Buy it in almost every craft shop in Lesotho, in vendors' stalls along Kingsway, and at the Besotho Hat Building, a craft shop that sells excellent regional crafts, woven goods, clothes, pottery, and jewelry.

Tapestries. Head to Teya Teyaneng, the crafts capital of Lesotho, for excellent woven goods. Find decorative tapestry wall hangings, woven clothing, and crafts at outdoor markets and cooperatives. Setsoto Weaving, Hatooa Mose Moasali, and Helang Basali Handicrafts, all in Teya Teyaneng, carry good selections of woven crafts, and some have adjacent workshops where visitors can watch craftswomen weave.
