The upcoming Leteisi on Heels show is a high-end cultural showcase that fuses Botswana’s traditional Leteisi fabric with modern-day glamour. The event will take place on September 20, 2025, at MO’s Open Table in Gaborone.

Guests can expect a red-carpet experience, live music, fine dining inspired by traditional cuisine with a modern twist, and of course, bold Leteisi fashion statements," he said.
