About

Lesedi Mot Designs is a South African slow fashion brand based in Johannesburg, known for crafting bold, one-of-a-kind garments designed to turn heads. Every piece is custom-made, celebrating individuality and timeless elegance. Sustainability is at the heart of the brand — we create our own textiles from off-cut pieces, transforming old materials into striking, wearable art.

The Modern Man: TRaditional Edit

This menswear mini lookbook celebrates the fusion of heritage and contemporary design. Each shirt is crafted from SeShweShwe, Tsonga, and Venda prints, expertly tailored to combine bold pattern with sharp silhouette. Every piece tells a story, honouring tradition while embracing modernity, individuality, and confidence. From vibrant, expressive Tsonga motifs to the structured elegance of SeShweShwe and the intricate detail of Venda prints (Nwenda), these shirts are made to stand out. Clean lines, intentional detail, and striking cultural patterns come together to create menswear that’s vibrant, refined, and unapologetically distinctive — designed for the modern man who dresses with purpose.
