Our Story

A PIECE OF HOME, WHEREVER YOU ARE.

LEKKA started with a simple idea: no matter where you live, you never really leave South Africa behind.

Founded by Alex Hinds, a South African living abroad, LEKKA was created to bring a little bit of home into everyday life. The food, the humour, the culture, the memories — and that feeling you get when you meet another South African somewhere in the world.

What started as a small online store has grown into a brand made for South Africans everywhere.

From our signature LEKKA Takkies to our clothing and accessories, everything is inspired by the country we call home and the culture that comes with it.

Whether you're in Sydney, London, Auckland, Dubai, New York or back home in South Africa, LEKKA is about carrying a piece of home with you.

MORE THAN A BRAND

South Africa is more than a place on a map. It's a feeling.

It's saying lekker. It's missing Woolies when you're overseas. It's hearing a familiar accent in a crowd and instantly feeling at home. It's the food, the stories, the places and the people that stay with you wherever you go.

That's what LEKKA is about.

South African roots. Global streets.
