About UNIMERCH
The names people love most are the least worn.
South Africa has 26 public universities, hundreds of colleges and some of the most storied schools on the continent. None of them has a premium apparel brand built around its identity.
UNIMERCH is building one. We research each institution before we design: its history, colours, landmarks, sport, language and the way its people talk about it. Then we make pieces an alumnus, a parent or a lecturer would choose to wear off campus, because they are that good.
The institution earns
A royalty on every piece sold, with no stock to hold, no shop to run and no cost to them.
Students are funded
Part of every collection goes to student bursaries at the institution it celebrates.
Designers get placed
Design students work on live commercial briefs through our work-integrated learning programme.
For universities, colleges and schools
Your community is already asking.
Every heart, size request, review and waitlist sign-up on this site is recorded against the campus it is for. If you represent an institution, we would be glad to share the numbers for yours.
