About Us
Who We Are
Sloag is a black owned business that started in late 2019, by two professional multimedia designers Marika Burton & Simba Kuguwe. Sloag drives in creating unisex and sustainable everyday wear street fashion. All their designs are original and 90% of the designs are designed and printed handmade by owners Marika and Simba.
Backstory
Marika and Simba have been professional freelance designers since 2009. After finishing university and gaining her Graphic Design BA Hons, Marika was lucky enough to be given a full-time job in her profession straight away. It was then that she realised that designing within limits was not something that made her feel happy and with both Marika and Simba being in the design industry independently and commercially felt mutual feelings. A few years prior, they started drop shipping and branching out into the world of e-commerce however this didn’t last long. They wanted something that was their own.
Marika and Simba saw this as an opportunity to create their own artwork and design pieces that would express their passion. They quickly invested into their own t-shirt stock, their own equipment, dyes etc… and taught themselves how to create their own graphic tee's and started to print their designs on their t-shirts and make it available to the public.
To their surprise this was very well received and still is now. Sloag is very proud of where they are now but believe they have a very long way to go in terms of development and creating a 100% sustainable brand.
