Namanje Designs is a custom, high- end active wear and denim brand birthed in Alexandra, North of Johannesburg over a decade ago. It is founded by Gift Shai, whose passion engraved belief is that we are born to make an impact in spaces where we find ourselves in. We at Namanje are all about timeless pieces that are interpreted as urban, sporty and edgy. We are inspired by the streets and the stories they tell, thus the catchphrase ‘Embrace You’. With that, we remind our clients to remain true to what and who they are. Personal identity forms a huge part our designs and craftsmanship. Our product range from street wear, athleisure and denim wear. We cater for the whole family with our three main product lines:

Namanje Ndoda (Menswear Line)

Namanje Ntokazi (Womenswear Line)

Namanje Kidz (Kiddieswear Line)

Over the years, our clients have been as diverse as our product range. We have not only had clients from all around the country, but internationally as well. And our goal is to cement our presence and increase our influence starting where it all start and across the country. We are not just a clothing brand, but we are an expression of self.

At Namanje, we value authenticity, tenacity, courage and self-expression. We stitch these tenets into each piece to express our love for the trend-setter you are. Every day, we are inspired by the bravest creatives in our community to make clothing that is unique, high quality and beautiful as you are. Namanje is you and you are Namanje
