Africa on Luxury

S3 EP5: Wearing the Future with R'frique


Listen Later

Through a carefully curated wardrobe of pieces from leading African designers, R’Frique is pioneering a circular fashion model rooted in sustainability, craftsmanship, and cultural pride. Guided by a shared belief that African luxury should be both globally visible and locally accessible, Ceejay and Lebi are challenging traditional retail structures while championing conscious consumption.


Their innovative fashion rental model draws from wider industry context around circular luxury, African fashion systems, and access. R’Frique transcends fashion rental norms and expands this platform from a rental to retail movement, with the launch of their new pop-up which sets a new standard as a cultural infrastructure reshaping luxury behaviour on the continent and across the globe.
