Skipper Bar offers top local and international fashion brand collections.
Skipper Bar has been the go-to destination for men’s fashion for over 50 years. What started as a small knitwear store in Johannesburg, selling iconic T-shirts or "skippers," has become a leading retailer of top local and international brands. With a keen eye on market trends and a passion for quality, we’ve expanded from T-shirts to a full range of branded clothing, footwear, and accessories.
As part of the Studio 88 Group of Companies, Skipper Bar is home to brands like adidas, Nike, Converse, Puma, Levi’s, Dickies, ellesse, and our own London Republic line. With over 199 stores across South Africa and beyond, including Lesotho and Namibia, we make it easy for you to stay ahead in fashion.
We’re proud to announce that Skipper Bar is now online, offering the same great brands at unbeatable prices, all from the comfort of your home.
