Collection: About Thandana

Thandana – Love one another

Thandana is a luxury South African luggage brand which focuses on quality and immaculate workmanship while supporting the community around them.

This innovative company employs a team of skilled, highly trained local artisans and creatives, recruited from disadvantaged neighbouring communities. They are based in Durban, South Africa. 

The Thandana philosophy is to make travel fun, which is reflected in the joyful designs of their exclusively designed fabrics. The waterproof technology used to produce the fabrics, combined with genuine South African bovine leather trims, ensure the longevity and durability of all their travel accessories.

Since its establishment in 2010, Thandana has become a sought after luggage brand, synonymous with quality and on trend design. Their products are stocked by exclusive shops in South Africa and abroad and now in the UAE.

‘Thandana’ is the Zulu word for ‘love one another’, which is the overriding ethos of the company. The logo is derived from an African rock art symbol meaning ‘and’ or ‘add to’. The combination of these ideas have resulted in exquisite, long lasting products synonymous with genuine African quality.

Thandana is a proudly South African company that incorporates rich local traditions and skills in its design and manufacturing. The focus is on immaculate workmanship and quality while empowering and uplifting neighbouring communities.
