Nonhlanhla Mditshwa is a Cape Town-based entrepreneur who started a fashion movement called ‘it’s a textile’… it’s a textile is a monthly event that invites vintage collectors and designers to sell their products in an open market: free from the red tape of retailers. Nonhlanhla is passionate about having people see value in their clothes And that goes beyond items that are in fashion at a particular point, to products which could still generate income after being worn. It may have taken 15 years for the budding entrepreneur to reach her level of success, but now that she is making waves in Cape Town’s Green Point scene, she intends to make it’s a textile a global brand in the coming years.
