Designer Spotlight: MUNKUS

MUNKUS is a modern, colourful, and trans-seasonal brand. It combines South African design from the 1980s and 1990s with traditional shapes to produce a vintage multigenerational look. The inspirations for the brand are founded on intergenerational history. With youthful apparel that conveys a tale via colours and motifs, their collections provide a full experience. MUNKUS focuses on intergenerational apparel by creating high-quality items that will endure a lifetime. They are inspired by decades of women, and their pieces are made with an extra bit of environmental care. MUNKUS clothes are long-lasting in the sense that they improve with age: Unlike 'quick fashion,' our brand evolves over time rather than becoming obsolete. They work with a variety of certified organic and ethically produced materials. Cotton, hemp canvas, and linen are the main textiles accented with bull denim and naturally printed items on their natural fibres. All prints are created using pigment printing, one of the most eco-friendly technologies available today. Thando Ntuli, the brand's founder, and creative director, spoke with us about what prompted her to launch a sustainable business and her approach to timeless fashion.
