Urban Zulu Sa
~ By Papy Kaluw
Papy Kaluw’s fashion brand started when he dropped out of university due to a lack of funds. He was left with no other option but to try and make a living from skills he could teach himself. Papy learnt how to design clothes from scratch and began altering garments. His first creation was a simple T-shirt for a friend and he began selling his clothes outside Market Theatre.
Today, Urban Zulu is world-famous, Afrocentric fashion brand specialising in ready-to-wear clothes with an Pan-African touch. Papy’s creations are now seen on celebrities, musicians, artists, or just about anyone with a flair for African prints and urban styling.
