Artclub and Friends
Artclub and Friends is a unisex fashion label from Cape Town, South Africa. Artclub and Friends was founded by Robyn Keyser in November 2016. Robyn’s intention was to build a brand that produces clothes made by artists, for artists. Artclub is also 100% youth and women owned, including most of the manufacturers.
These youthful, female artists strive to keep Artclub and Friends fully sustainable. They use a small production line to reduce waste and only organic materials which are grown or made within Africa.
They also ensure its clothing are top-quality to ensure durability. All their denim is pre-washed and softened and all the seams are taped to ensure garment longevity. Their clothes are also verstalie – designed to be worn by both genders, and adaptable to personal tastes as well as seasons, for example, they add adjustable straps and sleeves to many of their designs.
