The Letasi Mission
Reviving East African Batik Through Tradition, Story, and Design
Letasi was founded to revive and innovate East African Batik, an important artistic heritage at risk of being lost due to mass production.
At Letasi Design Studio, we blend traditional batik techniques with contemporary creativity — spotlighting local artisans as the true designers behind each motif.
Our mission is simple but bold:
🟢 Preserve culture.
🟢 Empower artisans.
🟢 Showcase African creativity to the world.
The Hands Behind the Cloth
“I never knew my patterns had meaning — until someone asked me.” — Baraka, Batik fabric Artist, Tanzania
Letasi is more than a textile brand — it's a movement built with real hands, stories, and soul.
We believe in honouring the hands behind the art. Our fabrics are:
- Handmade from start to finish
- Fairly paid and locally sourced
- Signed, storied, and soul-filled
