Fashion Forward Footwear Brand DC.ONE Expands into SADC Countries

Published: 28 September 2021

Leading fashion brand, DC.ONE has opened its doors to the rest of Africa. Now shoe lovers in various African countries will be able to shop their favourite footwear styles online. Just in time for the Summer 2021 collection.

The pioneer shoe company, part of Dangee | Carken, is behind brands like ButterflyFeet, Miss Black, Urban Art, Roberto Morino, Via Beach, Rock + Co and Mazerata. They launched their online store over a year ago, catering to fashion-focussed South African’s directly.

Previously, the footwear retailer only delivered within the borders of South Africa. But many customers around the African continent were hungry to get their hands on styles from their brands.

DC.ONE was more than happy to oblige. As of September 2021, customers in Namibia, Mauritius, Lesotho, and Botswana can order their desired shoes from the online store.

Direct delivery from DC.ONE means that not only does the consumer get their new fashion footwear delivered to their front door, but they also don’t need to worry about things like import fees and customs issues.

The list of SADC countries that DC.ONE now caters to includes Namibia, Zambia, Botswana, Mozambique, Lesotho, Estwani, Mauritius, Angola, Zimbabwe, Comores, Congo, Madagascar, Malawi, Seychelles, and Tanzania.

In the 10 years since their inception, DC.ONE has prided itself on being first in fashion footwear, with the intention of one day leading fashion on the continent. Expanding their offering into the rest of Africa was the next logical step in achieving this goal.

The shoe company is focused not only on trend-seeking but also trendsetting. They are constantly innovating and evolving. And most importantly giving shoe lovers access to fashionable, comfortable and unforgettable footwear.

Whether you’re in South Africa, or one of the SADC countries, you can take full advantage of DC.ONE’s extensive portfolio. Enjoy access to some of South Africa’s leading fashion brands by visiting their website, dc1.co.za.

"Fashion King” David Tlale launches bespoke proudly SA shoe collection

Published: 03 October 2019

Global fashion maestro, David Tlale — feted around the world for his bold and elaborate designs — has teamed up with iconic shoe brand, Crockett & Jones, to produce a must-have collection of stylish and sophisticated formal footwear for young and trendy men. 

The launch range of the Crockett & Jones David Tlale Noir Collection comprises four unique styles, collaboratively developed by Tlale and the footwear brand’s top designers at its Cape Town factory.  

Hand-crafted from genuine leather, Crockett & Jones shoes were famously worn by Nelson Mandela as he walked free from prison in 1990 and are a favourite of fashion followers around the world.  

Tlale, dubbed the “King of Fashion”, is a past winner of Africa’s Designer of the Year and is arguably the continent’s top fashion showman. He is reputed for defying convention and has a passion for proudly South African innovation. Recognised globally for his out-of-the-box, haute couture designs, Tlale’s work has been showcased on the world’s greatest stages, including New York Fashion Week. 

Now, his creative collaboration with Crockett & Jones has resulted in four innovative styles, ranging from men’s formal and sandalised shoes through to slip-ins and slip-on loafers. Each pair is aimed at inspired, young, fashion-conscious men who wish to stand out. The range boasts bows, hand-stained leathers and bold colours — a must-have for every fashion-conscious man’s wardrobe.  

“This is formal footwear redefined,” said Fahiem Frizlar, Crockett & Jones marketing manager. “The collaboration between two of the most in-demand brands at the pinnacle of their game is set to produce some of the most sought after and stylish formal footwear available.” 

“We use only the finest leathers from the world’s leading tanneries and aspire to the highest possible standards of hand-crafted, Goodyear-welted, extra-ordinary quality. This, combined with David’s innovation and creative genius will set the local fashion scene alight.” 

Tlale said: “I am all about elegance and sophisticated fashion that is proudly made in South Africa and I stand for all things African. My design ethos has always been about staying true to African magnificent luxury. The Noir Collection is no different. It is aimed at men of class and timeless fashion who want to invest in quality shoes because shoes maketh the man.”  

This super-stylish range, aimed at the modern man, is priced at around R1 900 a pair and will be available online and at selected retailers from mid-November 2019.
