Our Local Fashion Police Masterclass with the students of VUT wasn't just about sharpening fashion skills and unlocking creative potential - we also made sure our future fashion trailblazers were well fed! Thanks to our Local Fashion Police sponsor, Nando’s, the students enjoyed a delicious lunch while connecting, learning and soaking up the masterclass experience. Because empowering the next generation of local fashion talent deserves a little extra flavour! #LocalFashionPolice2026 #LovedHereMadeHere #Nandos

A morning of entrepreneurship, opportunity and big ideas at the EPCSA Youth Conference. 🇿🇦 Our CEO, Eustace Mashimbye, joined young South Africans to talk about finding the gaps, solving problems, building businesses and the power of choosing local. The future is local. And it starts with opportunity. 💡 @EusMas #ProudlySouthAfrican #BuyLocal #LovedHereMadeHere

Candy floss, a magician, a princess, and LoLo Warona stealing the show on the dance floor. 🎪🕺 That was Kiddichella, and honestly, we're still smiling about it. Between the products on display, go-karts, the princesses, the rides, and a magician who had every kid (and a few adults) completely convinced, this was proudly South African fun in its purest form. And in between all of it, our local heroes were right there too, the small businesses who showed up, set up, and reminded us why we love what we do. This is what Made Here, Loved Here actually feels like. Not a slogan, a whole weekend of it. Watch the reel, relive the event, and tag someone who needs to come with next time. 🇿🇦 #MadeHereLovedHere #ProudlySouthAfrican #Kiddichella

Kiddichella just gave us six reasons to be proud. 🧡 We spent the day there with a lineup of local brands, to show off what they’ve built, and remind everyone in the room why buying local actually matters. Say hello to: 🎨 Cassie Kids 🌟 Khwezi 📚 Moyena Learning 💇🏾 Entle Kiddies 🍼 PojuPoju 🧴 Kool Crew Six different products. Six different journeys. Every single one built by South Africans, for South African families. This is exactly why we do what we do. Local business isn’t small, it’s the backbone of this country, and every founder in that lineup is proof of it. Support them. Follow them. Buy from them. And if you were at Kiddichella and met any of these brands, tell us who caught your eye in the comments. Buy local. Love local. Be proudly South African. 🇿🇦 #LovedHereMadeHere #ProudlySouthAfrican #Kiddichella

Stall after stall, it’s proudly local makers doing what they do best, homegrown talent, handmade with heart, and a crowd that shows up to back it, this weekend at Kiddichella. Days like this are exactly why we do what we do. When you buy local, you're not just buying a product, you're backing someone's dream (and probably their kid's school fees too). This is what proudly South African looks like, up close and in real life. #LovedHereMadeHere #ProudlySouthAfrican
