Welcome to THE SPACE
For 25 years, The Space has been more than just a store. It’s been a platform for South African designers to grow, a place where customers discover unique fashion, and a community that celebrates creativity, heritage, and storytelling.
From Rail to Recognition.
We know how much passion goes into creating a collection. At The Space we take care of the in store operations allowing each designer to focus on their designing and manufacturing.
This facilitates your brand going into Premium Malls without having to manage and carry the risk of all the overhead costs including negotiating and paying the leases, staffing and day to day administration.
Our Reach
Today, The Space has a national presence in top malls such as Rosebank, Pavilion, Cavendish, Gateway, Menlyn, Mall of Africa, Brooklyn and Irene. Our fast-growing online store and active marketing channels extend our designers’ reach nationwide and beyond the shop floor.
What makes us unique?
The Space is more than a fashion retailer, it’s a collective of designers, each with a unique story, united under one roof. This makes The Space a true destination for customers, offering a curated showcase of local creativity. With 25 years of heritage, we’ve earned the trust of customers who know they’ll always find something unique, limited, and beautifully made.

We create spaces that highlight your collections, we train our teams to understand your brand and your products, and we integrate your story into our marketing. Designers at The Space benefit from seasonal events, launches, and ongoing support that helps grow sales and brand awareness.
