Fashion industry veteran Reggi Xaba draws on tradition for luxury footwear brand iFele
It has been a big year for Durban-based luxury footwear brand iFele and its founder, Reggi Xaba.

I am based in Durban, where my home and the design studio is, but I spend a lot of time in Nseleni, Richards Bay, where we produce our shoes. I collect contemporary African art and I love the natural world. I’ve got an inexhaustible curiosity about people and culture and I like to make the world a more beautiful place.
