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.

In an interview with Arts&Culture, the co-creator of Leteisi on Heels, Taolo “Taes” Entaile said the occasion is not just a fashion event, but a lifestyle experience that celebrates national identity through food, music, and breathtaking fashion.

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.
