The story of Addo African Clothes begins with a beautiful love story,
that of Lolo & South Africa.
Lolo is a French passionate entrepreneur who arrived in South Africa in 2012 to learn English. She fell in love with the country and never left. Animated by the willing of creating businesses that support fair trade tourism and local economy, and her desire of being a rolemodel in the preservation of the environment, she created Molo Lolo Collection, a hospitality brand that makes a difference. After the opening of Molo Lolo Lodge in Cape Town, she decided to grow bigger and opened Addo African Home : a beautiful Lodge near Addo Elephant Park, where the beauty of nature meets Molo Lolo’s engagements for eco-tourism and the support of local communities.
"Sustainable fashion : a movement and process of fostering change to fashion products and the fashion system towards greater ecological integrity and social justice"
This environment inspired the creation of a clothing brand : Addo African Clothes. A 100% local and ethical brand, creating original safari-style outfits and wellness accessories, made by local women entrepreneurs.
