The Darkie concept store opened last year and has been a popular Long St. destination since. For me this store is intriguing for it's lay-out, more than the clothes. It would be so cool if they stuck a cafe in the back or something, because it's the sort of place that you want to sit in and get into a good book, in the presence of cute vintage shoes no lesss. The clothing, with it's trademark Afro Comb is recycled vintage. The designer, Themba Mngomezulu, grew up wearing second-hand clothing and customising it, and this is where Darkie started. He says the designs are made for:
“Sexy men and women who want to look and feel
good, no matter what their body shape,”
Enjoy & stay fabulous xxx
