Artclub and Friends is an independent South African fashion and design studio founded in Cape Town in 2016 that champions creativity, collaboration, and conscious craftsmanship. Built on the guiding principle “by artists, for artists,” the brand creates unisex clothing and collections that celebrate artistic expression while reconnecting wearers to the people and stories behind each piece.

Rooted in a commitment to sustainability and local production, Artclub and Friends works closely with small, independent manufacturers across South Africa to produce high‑quality garments with thoughtful design, durable materials, and minimal waste. The label’s collaborative ethos brings together creative talent from the African diaspora, amplifying voices and perspectives through intentionally crafted fashion that defies fast‑fashion conventions.

As a valued tenant within Nineyards’ portfolio, Artclub and Friends enriches the retail landscape with a unique blend of artistic integrity, cultural relevance, and community‑focused design. Whether through capsule collections or community engagements, the brand continues to inspire and connect individuals who value authenticity, creativity, and mindful consumption.
