"Wear Your Heritage Proudly"
Meet Ungani Nefale
Based in Venda-Thohoyandou, South Africa, Ungani Nefale founded Ungie's Traditional Collection with a vision to celebrate African heritage through handcrafted fashion that blends timeless cultural richness with modern elegance.
Growing up deeply rooted in Venda traditions, Ungani developed an appreciation for the artistry, symbolism, and stories woven into every traditional garment. This passion transformed into a lifelong commitment to preserve cultural treasures while making them beautifully relevant for today's generation.
"Elegance is not bought — it's tailored."
Every piece from Ungie's Traditional Collection is more than clothing—it's a statement, a legacy, a celebration of pride and identity. Handcrafted by skilled artisans using the finest fabrics, each garment honors ancestral wisdom while embracing contemporary excellence.
Through bespoke custom tailoring, authentic wedding services, and a carefully curated collection, Ungani and her team uphold unwavering standards of quality, cultural authenticity, and exceptional service—values that have become the hallmark of the brand.
