FabroSanz is a fashion
house that appeals to the
stylish, modern working
woman with an eye for
beautiful garments.

uring the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup,
Sandisiwe Mazibuko decided to create
D“World Cup celebration cresses” for
women who did not enjoy wearing soccer
jerseys. She added South African flag badges
on the side pockets and personalised the
dresses with customers’ names. The dresses
were an instant hit and she received a flood
of enquiries for more of the same design.
Realising that she might be onto something,
Sandi decided to open a fashion studio and
boutique in Melville (on 7th Street) in 2012.
She called it the House of FabroSanz.
The Melville store was followed by another
store in Glenwood, Durban and this year, in
the middle of the pandemic, the House of
FabroSanz opened in the Mall of Africa in
Midrand.

“FabroSanz aims to be one of the leading African
brands that showcases the diversity of African
