Introducing AYANA: Bold, Accessible Fashion for South African Women

AYANA, South Africa’s newest womenswear brand, is set to redefine fashion with fearless, trend-forward designs that empower women and celebrate self-expression.

Fashion for the Bold and Unapologetic

Rooted in confidence, individuality, and effortless sophistication, AYANA delivers daring yet timeless designs that seamlessly blend high-end aesthetics with affordability. Whether she’s a working professional, a creative, or a trendsetter, the AYANA woman is bold, unapologetic, and always ahead of the curve.

“AYANA is built for the bold, and I believe it will inspire women to step out and be unapologetically themselves,” says Shona Bredenkamp, Operations Executive.

Empowering Women Through Style

AYANA is about how fashion makes women feel. “Fashion isn’t just about what you wear—it’s about how it makes you feel. AYANA empowers women to embrace their style and express their authenticity with confidence,” adds Sheri-Lee, Buying & Creative Manager.

The debut collection embodies this ethos, featuring a carefully curated range of statement pieces designed to transition effortlessly from day to night. From striking silhouettes and vibrant hues to wardrobe essentials, every item is crafted to inspire self-assurance. True to its “top-to-toe” approach, AYANA also offers matching footwear and accessories, ensuring a complete, curated look.

Mark Your Calendar

AYANA officially launches on 27 February 2025, with 32 stores across South Africa and an online store. As part of the PEPKOR Speciality family—which includes brands like Refinery, SPCC, Dunns, and Tekkie Town—AYANA reinforces the group’s commitment to innovation and expanding South Africa’s fashion landscape.

With a vision to lead the local womenswear industry, AYANA bridges the gap between high-end fashion and accessibility, ensuring every woman can embrace her style without compromise.

“I’m beyond excited for the AYANA launch. The team has poured their hearts into this brand, and we can’t wait to share the campaigns and see how it connects with women everywhere,” says Konaye Dlatu, Social Media Strategist.

Content Creator Lerato Selamane adds, “AYANA gives women the power to express their true selves through fashion. It’s a brand that speaks to who women are today.”
