TIZA DESIGNS

Tiza Designs was created by Tiza Chandwe in 2013 while studying Fashion Design at Capetown College of Fashion Design.

Tiza Designs aims at providing women with elegant and sophisticated clothing with an African twist.

Tiza Designs also encourages young people that are interested to work harder and never doubt themselves. That’s why they plan to have a program where they will go out to less privileged high schools and give them their left over fabric trims which they can teach them to use to make accessories such as bags, earrings and necklaces.

These students could end up turning these skills into a business. In the same way Tiza Designs will also be helping the environment as the left over fabrics will be used to create amazing accessories.
