Our story
Empowering African women, one piece at a time.

Every piece is small-batch, hand-finished in our Cape Town studio, and rooted in Shweshwe tradition reimagined for the modern wardrobe.

Reviews from happy buyers
Beautiful work! I happened to walk into the shop to buy a bag for my other tourist purchases and fell in love with this dress for my daughter 💕 When I asked if there was a matching headband for it, she was able to make one while I ate lunch. Absolutely perfect! All of the work here is stunning.

I bought two shirts from Tari, they are both amazing. This is a woman owned shop, and I believe Tari employs only local women in her business. An even better reason to support this store, imo.

A stunning stunning shop. I just about cleared them of all the tablecloths - they be perfect christmas presents for loved ones if I can part with them. All 5 are currently sailing to Cape Town and then will fly to the uk. Thank you so much Tari designs.

OMG. Everything in there is just perfect, beautiful, handcrafted. And the service is warm and fun. Well now I have to sell a kidney, but only because I bought too much: prices are very reasonable ^^

I now go to Tari's fabulous shop / workshop every time I'm in Cape Town. Tari, her sister and the other ladies have made me many custom skirts and dresses from their gorgeous fabrics to a high quality and with attention to detail.

Beautiful products made by beautiful people. We we lucky enough to stumble upon Tari Designs, on our visit to Simonstown, and we're couldn't be happier about it. Everything they is handmade, and is simply stunning, and Tari herself was an absolute pleasure.
