8th Avenue

Welcome to 8th Avenue - Bringing African Design Excellence To Your Door

8th Avenue brings the finest South African design talent to your door. 100% local design. 100% local manufacture. We aim to take “Local is Lekker” to a designer level.

What We Do
8th Avenue was created to bring together South African design talent and customers looking for unique designer pieces. Designers are offered a retail platform to distribute their products while clients have access to their products with an easy-to-use, secure online shopping experience, backed by free delivery and returns.

Our Background
8th Avenue was conceptualised when a marketer, a web developer and a fashion production expert came together to unite their ideas. Backed by Refract Marketing and PearZoo Clothing, 8th Avenue offers South African designers a holistic solution, from manufacturing to marketing and retail. Designers can mix and match the services they need to best support their brand.

The Merchandise Mix
We can’t say it enough - we support 100% local designers making and selling their own products. We have searched across Africa to bring you the best that local designers have to offer in clothing, accessories and soft furnishings.

Talk To Us
We are all about community, engaging with both designers and customers. Besides finding us on our store and blog, you can also talk to us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and even Snapchat where we will bring you the latest trends and designer advice, great offers and competitions.

Where To Find Us
Unlike the most of the fashion industry you will find us in Joburg, but thanks to modern technology we can live chat with designers from all over Africa, and bring their concepts to your door.
