We primarily sell quality second hand clothes at affordable prices to the local community.

I also specialize in made-to-measure (bespoke) fashion or traditional Shweshwe garments and accessories, special occasion dresses i.e. matric, evening or wedding wear and promotional, fancy dress and theatrical costumes of all description, for adults and children.  I recently designed the embroidered shweshwe uniform for the staff of the Basotho Cultural Village in Golden Gate.  I have experience working as a costumier for: The State Theatre, Gold Reef City, Southern Sun Hotels, Troubadour Productions (including work for the Durban Municipality, various shopping centres and the old Dolphinarium) and House of Siren in Hong Kong.  We would be excited that you visit us at Olivier Street (opposite the Standard Bank) or 60 van Rensburg Street where patterns are cut and the garments are constructed.  I am also on face book @ Kerrylee Maier.  Looking forward to your visit!

Sissi
Smocked Shwe-shwe dresses for little girls

 

Sissi is a fledgling fairtrade venture, working out of the small town of Kestell, in the Eastern Free State.  Sissi is working to empower a group of unemployed ladies, living in the legacy black township of Thlolong, by teaching them sewing and embroidery skills, which they use to produce beautiful smocked children’s sun dresses each one unique, out of  “three cats shwe-shwe material”.  The dresses come in three sizes and fit little girls from 1 - 6 years.

Shwe-shwe material has a long history in South Africa. First introduced by German missionaries in 1858, it soon became the national dress of the Xhosa women.  It has evolved into a very popular material with over 100 designs in three colours - blue, red, brown. Shwe- shwe is produced exclusively in South Africa by Da Gama Textiles in East London, in the Eastern Cape.

The past 6 months have seen Sissi move from strengh to strength.  We sell our dresses in Clarens, Harrismith and London and this has allowed for more ladies to be employed and for the project to expand.
