The Space: Celebrating South African ChicA Platform for Local Design

The Space is a premier destination for South African fashion, offering exclusive fashion and accessories that are designed by talented African designers and locally produced. Established in 2000, The Space was created with the mission to showcase the unique talent of South African designers, offering pieces that cater to real, everyday women. Each collection is thoughtfully designed to enhance individual style and provide a personal touch to every wardrobe.



With a focus on designer-run collections that are produced in limited quantities, The Space ensures its pieces are exclusive and one-of-a-kind. This approach not only supports local designers but also allows customers to access high-quality, original designs that are made specifically for South African women, with sizes that cater to a variety of body types.


A Rich History of Supporting Local Talent

Founded by a group of local designers, The Space has built a reputation for its commitment to ethical fashion and fostering strong relationships with both its designers and customers. Over the years, The Space has helped shape the South African fashion scene by providing a platform for cutting-edge creativity, originality, and design. Many of the original customers are still loyal shoppers today, a testament to the strong personal connections the store has nurtured.


Expanding the Reach of African Fashion

From its modest beginnings as a single stand-alone store, The Space has expanded to include eight regional brick-and-mortar stores located in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, and Durban. In addition, the brand has a dedicated Space+Man outlet in Rosebank, menswear rails in prominent malls such as The Space Mall of Africa, Gateway, and The Pavilion, as well as an online store. This expansion has allowed The Space to introduce even more African designers and provide a wider audience with access to authentic South African fashion.


A Commitment to Sustainability and Community

At The Space, the philosophy goes beyond just showcasing beautiful clothing and accessories. The brand is deeply committed to sustainability and ethical business practices, ensuring that all designs are made with respect for the environment and the communities involved in their creation. The Space strives to support the growth of local communities, believing that the knock-on effect of buying and producing locally will help build a stronger, more vibrant South Africa.


By carefully curating its collection of locally designed garments, accessories, and gifts, The Space continues to uplift South African designers and create a sustainable future for local fashion. Through its dedication to quality, creativity, and ethical practices, The Space remains at the forefront of African fashion, pushing boundaries and inspiring individuals to embrace their unique South African chic.
