Pep store in Alex to carry Loxion Kulca attire

ALEXANDRA -– We are taking initiatives to ensure the brand continues to shine even after the death of its founder, says Ole Ledimo.

Alexandrians may soon be able to purchase their favourite Loxion Kulca street attire when the Pep store in the Freedom Supermarket building reopens for business following the July looting.

The tenant store was one of those razed to the ground when the entire building was set on fire after the looters had done their ‘business’ during the looting mayhem that gripped Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal.

This follows a collaboration between Pep stores and the famous Soweto brand, which was started by township fashion pioneer and brand founder, the late Wandile Nzimande who passed away early this year. The collaboration will also see the brand available at selected Pep stores nationwide.
