PRESIDENTIAL SHIRTS
From the designer who helped create Madiba’s iconic personal style, with that very first fish shirt in 1994, the Presidential concept was born. The shirts are made of 100% cotton with patterns created using either embroidery or print. This particular shirt is named the Madiba Classic, in a bold red. It’s made from 100% cotton with a silk finish. Perfect for any occasion.

KICKS FROM DIOMANDE
You know those kick-ass leather brogues you see in the windows of Long Street boutiques? Most of them come from a man known as Diomande. Diomande creates handmade leather shoes that will be 100% unique to you. The custom Diomande experience starts off with him measuring and outlining your feet so the shoes are made to fit you perfectly. Then, you get to choose your leather, as well as the lining colour. The design of the shoe is up to you, whether you want a pair of bowling shoes or ankle boots or slip-on loafers. Alternatively, you can buy a pair of ready-to-wear shoes from Diomande.
