What do you get when you bring together one of South Africa’s most beloved fashion retailers with the highly considered design aesthetic from one of the country’s most innovative brands? An exciting new collaboration between Mr Price and Artclub and Friends.
Founded in 2016 by Robyn Keyser, later joined by Tanya Slater in 2019, Artclub and Friends has become synonymous with innovative and timeless pieces built on the ethos of celebrating artists and nurturing their creative community. A collaboration first for the local Cape Town brand, the limited-edition research project was conceptualized and developed over two years with Mr Price.

“We wanted to plant a seed and experiment to see what happens when you apply the design thinking of a small independent brand, with the resources of a large-scale local retailer. Each element of this collection was deeply considered, and designed with our customers new and existing in mind. We hope each piece is something that everyone who shops treasures for years to come ” – Robyn Keyser, Founder of Artclub and Friends
Inspired by tried and tested silhouettes from Artclub and Friends, the 16 piece collection features 100% cotton tees, a striped bowler shirt, suit trousers and shorts, trench coat, everyday bags and the standout burnout laser printed denim with the signature “by artists for artists” slogan, all ranging from R139.99 – R499.99.
“Following on from the incredible successes we’ve had from our partnerships with local design talent including Cyla Gonsolves, REFUSE and SinCHUI, this collaboration with the Artclub and Friends team is a testament to how two brands can learn, create and grow together. We’re so excited to expand our Mr Price family with Artclub and Friends” – Kevin Smit, Managing Director, Mr Price.
