“De-Classe, Elegente, Sleek & Sofisticate”
Our Brand
The DCESS BoPedi brand is uniquely distinguished by the Sepedi/Bapedi pottery that may in most designs be incorporated by the “DCESS BoPedi” signature type face. The pottery of the logo “BoPedi” gives the brand its significant meaning, signifying its great history of the handwork women of the ethnic group engaged themselves into crafting their cultural tradition. The pottery signifies the core meaning of the Bapedi since it was used in those years for many things like cooking, serving food and carried water sourced from their rivers. DCESS BoPedi strives to tell a story of the BaPedi nation and patriotism through fashion, there are eight colours that have been specifically chosen succinctly tell this story while promoting our African heritage:
