The SoapBox Label

As some of you may know, Dylan Van Vuuren has started a project - The SoapBox Label - which is a brand that provides the platform for self expression using clothing as the medium of communication.

They have launched with an iconic limited edition black shirt proudly proclaiming your identity in a bold white print: “I Am An African.” The fitted style shirt is available as a vest, a crew-neck (the usual cut) and a V-neck. The vests go for just R80, and the T-shirts are only R100. By the way, they’re also proudly South African!
