What we do

Building, growing, distributing, and selling premium brands.

International Colours is a 23-year-old brand house with South African roots and a global footprint, with offices in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban, London, and Brisbane. We build and own four premium leather and accessories brands, partner with international names like Diesel, and run our own retail across South Africa. From factory floor to shop floor, we deliver the full stack.

Why International Colours

Four reasons brands and retailers choose us.

We are not a logistics provider with a sales add-on. We are a full brand house with the people, infrastructure, and retailer relationships to build premium brands properly, in South Africa and across international markets.

01
23 years of brand building

Two decades of growing premium brands in the South African market, from launch through to long-term retail equity.

02
Global infrastructure

Offices in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban, London, and Brisbane. Materials sourced from Brazil, Italy, Turkey, China, and India.

03
Full distribution stack

Sales team, warehousing, national retailer network, in-store consultancy, and marketing, all under one roof.

04
Premium positioning

We focus on enduring design and craft, on brands and products that outlast trends and reward the people who carry them.

Porter & Craft · Our retail

14 stores. All our own.

We don't just build and distribute brands. We sell them, too. Porter & Craft is our own retail chain: 14 stores across South Africa, owned and operated by International Colours.

It's where our brands meet the customer directly, on our own floor: full ranges, expert staff, and the premium experience each brand is built for. Running our own stores keeps us close to what customers actually want, and gives every brand in the portfolio a proven home on the shop floor.

The problem we solve

South Africa is complex. We make it simple.

Whether you are entering the market or scaling within it, premium brands run into the same four challenges. We have built our business around solving them.

·
Market complexity

Navigating local consumer behaviour, channel dynamics, and where premium brands actually win in South Africa.

·
Stretched teams

Regulatory, customs, logistics, and onboarding handled by us, so your team stays focused on what they do best.

·
Logistics at scale

Inventory coordination, multi-channel fulfilment, and consistent on-time delivery, built into our infrastructure.

·
Retailer relationships

An international stockist network across independents, department stores, airport retail, and online, built over two decades.
