South African Streetwear Brands Rooted in Community
Loxion Kulca is more than just a clothing brand; it's a movement. Born in the vibrant streets of Johannesburg, Loxion Kulca embodies the spirit of South Africa's new generation. We draw inspiration from our rich cultural heritage and the philosophy of "ubuntu" to create clothing that is both stylish and meaningful.
From Humble Beginnings to Nationwide Success
What started as a small, hand-made operation has blossomed into a nationwide phenomenon. With a commitment to quality and innovation, Loxion Kulca has become a leading local brand in Southern Africa. We've partnered with Dunns, who were instrumental in our initial launch in the late 90s, to bring our authentic streetwear back to the streets.
Beyond Fashion: Empowering Our Community
Loxion Kulca is dedicated to giving back to the community that inspires us. Through various youth development projects, we support initiatives in entertainment, art, sports, and entrepreneurship. We believe in the power of fashion to empower and uplift, and we're committed to using our platform to make a positive impact.

“THE TRIBUTE” DESIGNED BY OLE LEDIMO (IN MEMORY OF WANDI NZIMANDE)
The Loxion Kulca brand, which initially began as an informal enterprise of hand-made items, has grown into a corporation that reaches the entire country as well as neighbouring states. The brand was born in Johannesburg and since its entry into the market, has been the embodiment of popular culture. It draws its inspiration from authentic African principles of ‘ubuntu’, which govern the nature of their corporate partnerships.
How Loxion Kulca pioneered post-apartheid streetwear
The brand Loxion Kulca was a representation of the cultures that these designers were exposed to. Nzimande and Mogale had started out by selling handmade t-shirts and caps from the boot of their car. They then approached Sales House, known today as Jet Stores, part of the Edgars Consolidated Stores (EDCON).
