ZuluGal Retro is a proudly South African brand that values creativity and wants to harness artistic talent by providing a platform of expression, exposure and empowerment to socioeconomically marginalized
youth in and beyond KwaZulu Natal Region. This Durban based social enterprise recycles and up-cycles flexible laminated packaging into fashion accessories (bags, purses, backpacks, jewellery and homedeco items) handcrafted by unemployed differently abled youth and their caregivers. ZuluGal Retro’s solution combines art, design and craft knowledge with business to produce products that support the move towards sustainable fashion, while creating job opportunities. Through sales of eco-friendly crafts,
differently abled youth and caregivers gain economic independence and the dignity of marginalized differently abled youth and caregivers is restored. ZuluGal Retro social enterprise is registered as a PTY
entity, 100% black youth and black female owned by Ms. Nozipho Zulu (Founding creative Director).
