Born in 1994

Presidential began in 1994, inspired by Nelson Mandela’s choice to wear the now-iconic Madiba Shirt - an emblem of dignity, pride and African identity. Defined by comfort and bold design, it remains a timeless classic rather than a passing trend.

From this foundation, Presidential has evolved into a full range of Afro-centric apparel and lifestyle products. Every shirt is authentically Made in South Africa, crafted in our own Cape Town factory with skill and care.
