Beautifully crafted clothing made with skill
and care as a quality gift that will remain in your possession for many years
as you wear it with gratitude and enjoyment. Choose your fabric from a treasure chest of colours and designs and let the designers craft your dream garment!
Why Fasheka…… Sewn with Love, Worn with Respect
Many women owe their
livelihood to an income through sewing. In recent years, SA manufacturers have
decreased due to the influx of cheaper foreign goods. Fasheka aims to reignite
a passion for quality African clothing which is vibrant, colourful, stylish and
appeal to a wide range of women and men of all races, shapes, size and age.
Their garments tell a story of cultural diversity, ubuntu and joy.

Buying Fasheka Garments Enables the ‘Kiss of Life’ and
Livelihood of 87 Very Talented Women
Your
support of Fasheka in turn supports the women from the Topsy Foundation in
providing them with ongoing work and income. Tommy Edmond CEO of Tourvest was
one of the first supporters of this initiative and has bought into the concept
and his company regularly purchases Fasheka garments.

Fashion Kapitol Opened in 2011
The
Kapitol, the focal point of the Fashion District, is Joburg’s first public
outdoor fashion ramp. It also has a small amphitheatre. Several buildings were
demolished to make room for the venue, a square with several shops facing it,
and an arcade linking Pritchard and Market Streets.
The
Fashion Shack is an informal eatery and shop with a variety of products and
consumables.
The
heart beat of the Fashion District is alive and well - pumping with passion, creativity,
innovation and entrepreneurship! Gail Signing Off on behalf of X Factor Brands!
