Caballero Collection was born in the shadow of Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa. Channeling the scenic beauty, arts and culture that is unique to this part of the world; as is evident in our exclusive prints and playful silhouette’s, telling the story of Africa and all her wonders…

As a brand with deep roots in Africa we also donate a percentage of all our sales to the Nelson Mandela foundation as they strive to empower and uplift those that need a helping hand most.

For us to manufacture a clothing line with our family name sewn onto each garment we wanted to create clothing that adheres to the values that are important to our family: We spend hours fitting and re-fitting each style. Each piece is meticulosity constructed using high-end couture finishes. We use sustainably sourced fabrics and manufacture everting to the highest industry standards, using socially compliant factories with equitable pay for all. And yes, all our packaging is compostable.

In short, we wanted to create garments you’d be as proud to wear and love just as much as we love making them for you.

 Now that you know what our label stands for, allow us to introduce our growing family:
