Why Da Gama?

At Da Gama, we have a long and proud history of delivering high-quality Cotton and Poly/Cotton fabrics for a range of applications – from traditional and cultural fabrics for home, décor and fashion, to premium workwear and medical fabrics.

We are proud of our roots in South African and African culture and society. Our Home, décor and fashion ranges aim to build on the strong tradition of historical, beautiful fabrics that showcase who we are as a country, embracing the past while bringing a modern touch that speaks to today’s consumer.

Our original shweshwe and traditional fabrics are unmistakeable. Since our inception in 1946, Da Gama has worked to establish ourselves as the premier manufacturer of stunning fabrics that speak to our country’s vibrant history, diversity of culture and bright future. This stunning aesthetic flair is passed on to those who purchase our fabrics, allowing local businesses to express their individuality and style, thereby increasing value to their own end users.

And while the above showcases our design and manufacturing capabilities, our technical prowess takes the fore in our workwear and medical textile ranges, and primarily in our new Technical Division.

Our workwear and medical fabrics are well-known across various industries for their performance, and their consistency is proven through regular testing and international accreditations.

Not only are we industry leaders in the design and manufacture of fabrics for a wide range of applications, our significant manufacturing and production capacity means that we can deliver the fabrics you need with positive turnaround times and notable value for money.
