Designer Rahim Rawjee is at the creative helm of Row-G. Rawjee was born in South Africa and grew up in Toronto where he attended The International Academy of Merchandising and Design, training in design and garment technology. 

He returned to South Africa in the late 1990s and showcased his first ready-to-wear collection at SA Fashion Week. However, enticed by the elegance of Savile Row in London he began an apprenticship under the masterful eye of  Alan Percival of Chester Bernie, a gentleman's tailor who has been a fixture on Savile Row since 1935.

His addition of traditional bespoke tailoring to his repertoire in conjunction with his well-known cutting-edge style led him to create Row-G along with his brother Shaheed. Located in Marshalltown within Joburg's city centre, visits are by appointment only.

The establishment of Row-G took the brothers five years of planning for it to become a bespoke luxury local brand. Rahim Rawjee is also at the head of The Blue Blazer Foundation, an award honouring African individuals who are changing Africa and the world.

Africa is a premier destination for custom-made clothing for men and women. Joburg is one of those fashion capitals – a city filled with tailoring rooms, machinists and other clothing artisans.

To make his signature garments Row-G collaborates with craftspeople from all around the world as well as partner mills and wool merchants. Each piece is handcrafted in Joburg by a skilled team of tailors from Malawi and Zimbabwe, with a total tailoring experience of more than 150 years. Each tailor specialises in a specific aspect – such as bespoke suits, jackets, shirt-making and trousers. The result - a masterpiece. 

This experience is for the pure fashion connoisseur.
