The good people of Broke Billionaire were kind enough to interview me about Head Honcho.
Here’s an excerpt from the interview for your reading pleasure:
“You’re the CEO of Head Honcho, what exactly is it that your company does ?
Head Honcho is the leading local streetwear clothing company in SA. We make some of the freshest gear for progressive ladies and gents out there. Head Honcho is all about using clothing and other platforms as an opportunity to inspire peeps to LIVE PROGRESSIVELY.
When did you start your company and what inspired you do it ?
We officially launched the business in November 2008. However, my partner Mzo and I laboured on it for a year straight before we dropped our first range. What inspired me to start the company was the simple desire to create something magical that reflects the spirit of our times.
As fans and consumers of everything urban and street, we felt that South African streetwear lovers were being short-changed in terms of quality and originality. Personally, I watched the game from the sidelines for 7 years straight while silently lamenting the half-heartedness that epitomised the approach from many local brands.
In a nutshell, we decided to change the game.
Head Honcho recently made Headlines by becoming the first South African streetwear label to be stocked at major retailer Sportscene. What’s next for the Head Honcho Group?
Sportscene is obviously a very big deal for us so our medium-to-long-term goal is to increase our presence in the chain. We’re looking forward to get into more Sportscene stores and to improve our visibility in every store.
We’re also working on plans to get the brand into a number of key African markets. Hopefully, these deals will be concluded in the next month or two.”
