Our Story
Since our creation in 2015 by Tshepo Mohlala, his purpose was clear; to connect with people through the stories that our designs tell.
Our Creator
Tshepo Mohlala
“I was raised by three strong women. My mother, Masesi Mamba, who taught me how to hustle, my grandmother, an Apostle and masterful storyteller, whose words “Tshepo, you’re a gentleman and should always look like one” echo in my head as I get dressed every morning. Then there is trendy aunt, Takalani, the first person to graduate in our neighbourhood. She would visit us in Tsakane dressed head-to-toe in denim. She ignited my interest in fashion and love for denim and so, I opened the doors of TSHEPO in 2015.”
“Founded in 2015, Tshepo Jeans is my story and you’ll find the three women who raised me in the crown, ever present in my creative process.”

Our Purpose
Committed to the development of denim, through the promotion of africanism and localization, TSHEPO honours denim’s ability to stand the test of time by honoring the past, acknowledging the present and designing with the future in mind.
We believe that our main responsibility is to create desirable and functional items that our consumers value and can enjoy for a life time. Each product tells a true story.
Every product we sell has a purpose and a story, a reason why we made it. Story telling is where our product development process begins. We believe in community. The friends of our friends, are our friends. We believe that jeans fit better when the person making them does it with love and is treated well.
