KoiKoi SA — The Brand
Born on a deck in Mauritius. Made in Cape Town. Worn across three continents.
"Not just a brand — a way of living. Supremely relaxed, deeply comfortable, authentically African."
KOIKOI is inspired by the beauty of Cape Town, its natural wonders, clean beaches and vibrant lifestyle. We take pride in producing a fully sustainable range — clothing with a conscience that improves with every wash and gets better with every wear.
We were in our third year at Stellenbosch University when we first noticed it. Kikoy sarongs, everywhere. Light, honest fabric with an ease to it that nothing else quite matched. Unmistakably African. We kept asking ourselves the same question: why wasn't anyone making this for men?
So we did.
chose our fabric carefully, and had fifty pairs made. They sold out almost immediately. Not through a campaign or a launch strategy, simply because the product was right.
That was enough to know we were onto something.
"Every stitch is unique. Every garment is personal."
A wooden wheelbarrow at Mojo Market. No lease, no staff, no grand vision of what KOIKOI would become, just a belief in what we were making and the discipline to show up for it.
From that wheelbarrow, everything else followed.
but the intention hasn't shifted. Clothing that feels effortless. Fabric rooted in Africa. Pieces made to move between a morning on the water and an evening somewhere worth being.
That's still the brief. It always will be.
Softening and toning to match the sea, sun and salt of good living. Kikoy fabric is uniquely alive — no synthetic can do this.
The iconic sarong fabric of Kenya, woven by hand for generations. In clothing for the first time. Breathable, hardwearing, vibrant with colour.
Cotton grown in Kenya. Fabric woven locally. Garments crafted in Cape Town. All-natural, all-African — clothing with a conscience.
Relaxing at home. Rooftop lunch. 5-star resort. KOIKOI fits every occasion — because leisurewear should be how you live, not just where you holiday.
