Inca Clothing is not just a brand; it’s a story of resilience, heritage, and a steadfast commitment to South Africa’s hardworking agricultural communities. Born out of the legacy of the Grové family, Inca Clothing traces its roots back to the struggles of the Great Depression and the vision of a family determined to build something meaningful.
Established in 2020 amidst the global upheaval of COVID-19, Inca Clothing brings over a century of tradition, inspired by the Grové family’s history and South Africa’s esteemed Awerbuchs, a clothing retailer that dates back to 1901. Today, the brand is a symbol of strength and support for the farmers and outdoor enthusiasts who form the backbone of the country.

A Legacy Rooted in Resilience
The story of Inca Clothing begins with Willem Abraham Grové, affectionately known as the "Sapa Inca." In a time of economic hardship, Willem and his son Louis Andries Grové persevered through South Africa’s toughest days. Louis’s entrepreneurial spirit shone through when he opened a restaurant in Aliwal North, naming it "INCA" in honor of his father’s resilience.
Fast forward to 2020, Louis’s sons, Willie and Louis Jr., carried forward their family’s legacy by launching Inca Clothing. They envisioned a brand that would serve South Africa’s agricultural and outdoor communities with the same resilience and determination that defined their family.
