Where my Story Begins
I grew up in Botswana surrounded by shweshwe. It was everywhere, so familiar that I hardly noticed its beauty. Years later, I brought my Malaysian husband to a shweshwe shop during a visit home. His delighted “Waaaah cantiknyeeee” made me see the fabric with new eyes.
We returned to KL with more fabric than luggage space and a heart full of ideas. Those ideas eventually formed the seed of Lerato.
What I Do
Our story
We started with a simple idea: to create something meaningful. Over the years, that idea has grown into a passion that drives everything we do.
Our journey has been filled with challenges and triumphs, each one shaping who we are today. We believe in quality, authenticity, and the power of community.
Every product we create is a reflection of our values and our commitment to excellence. We're not just building a brand—we're building a legacy.
A Warm Goodbye
Thank you for visiting my colourful corner of KL. Whether you are exploring something new or searching for a piece that brightens your home, I am glad you are here.
You are always welcome to visit the showroom, browse online or say hello at a market. I would love for you to become part of the story I am stitching together.
With love and colour
Asiyah, Founder of Lerato
