Originally a purveyor of sporting equipment for fishing, boxing, wrestling, and collectibles, Lemkus has transformed into an innovating, multi-disciplinary space with a focus on design and creativity as a route to the future.
Rooted in South Africa's rich cultural scene, we continually adapt to digital, cultural, and creative trends both locally and globally - whether in our iconic ‘Lemkus’ store, our multi-storied heritage space The Exchange Building or online.
