LAPA SIDE – A SOUTH AFRICAN LIFESTYLE BRAND.
EST. 2017
Growing up on the coast of South Africa, the concept and idea behind the brand stems from our love for the ocean and years spent in local lifestyle production. You need to love what you do, have a passion and understanding of it and draw inspiration from the beauty around you. It’s important to produce quality garments and find what makes customers wanting more.
Live the African dream.
