KeNo custom suits bring new twist to image

Intent to  explore an untapped field, two entrepreneurs, Thobo Kerekang and Donald Nnoto, established the clothing label in 2014.

The clothing line has not only proved to be a favourite in the corporate world but also to a host of young urbanites.

KeNo custom-designed suits are not similar to ordinary ones sold in stores.

They are customised suits that totally bring a new twist to suave with stylish designs and materials.

The trendy suits, whose stylish designs quickly enhance one’s image, are made from different materials.

 Depending on the client one can choose materials they prefer prior to ordering.

The duo, which does not have much expertise in fashion design, has managed to stay put in the fashion industry and entice a number of clients.

“We have always had a passion for fashion and looking good. 

The local fashion landscape provided little to minimal options in the suit tailoring department hence we formed KeNo,” said Kerekang, who is the business strategist.

He said that despite not having fashion design qualifications they managed to conceptualise and design suits.

He said: “We wanted a field that was untapped and would surely spark immediate interest in people and the product.  Never as far as memory served me has there been a local formal wear line”.

Kerekang said the market is quite responsive and they do not have a specific one because image matters to everyone.

The KeNo Custom Suits team also announced that they now have a women’s suit line and this year they will take their clothing to different fashion shows. 

They have dressed a number of local celebrities such as DJ Izzy, TV presenters, Steez and Loungo Pitse.
