A local fashion designer, Lebogang Ruth Mapete, has gone all out to come up with a distinctive Tswana outfit. The outfit is made up of a leather top decorated with matlhoa in the breast and waist regions respectively.

Combined, the dress and the top create an African feel and have that feminine look.
