“The clothing manufacturing industry is on a knife edge after the announcement of planned retrenchments of about 1 900 workers by two big players, Seardel and Trubok.”

These headlines taken from the Mail & Guardian.

Lava Ink acts as a facilitator for those individuals and companies who do not understand the clothing manufacturing and branding processes.

All our custom made products are produced by smaller CMT factories within the Western Cape and we provide the platform for these businesses  to market themselves. We aim to create an alternative industry model whereby our smaller factories are not entirely dependent on the larger retailers, who have opted to utilize Eastern imports to make larger profit margins. The services of our Clothing Industry will thus be available for anyone to utilize…even if they’re not familiar with the clothing engineering process.
