Take Note is taken from a Xhosa word “Qaphela”. The idea is to identify the gap in the market as well as in our community and making the difference. The opportunity has presented itself to the Company’s founder Nikelwa Kambi that the time has come for us to take the stand in saying we will not wait for our country and government to do for us but we will make a difference in our lives and those of our fellow South Africans and our country.
Nikelwa is a qualified designer and has seven years in the textiles industry. Before previously employed as a Fashion Buyer for Woolworths. This has provided the foundation and platform for understanding the market.
The company speciality is to manufacture and supply innovative local products that will appeal to the corporate world ie. homeware, promotional items and gifts to the market. Supplying clients like, Engen, National Ports Authority, P4 radio, Premier’s office and more. This also includes retail stores like Y.D.E (Young Designers Emporium) with our designer range.
The pieces are an inspiration and influence of African living and art. This could be identified as being traditional with a touch of modern western culture giving one a unique taste that is home grown, yet sophisticated. This has managed to create a lot of employment for our local people and many artist and crafters have benefited in so doing.
