We are a female-founded South African brand centred on sustainability and conscious design.
Mother of Gao creates thoughtfully crafted products that move beyond seasonal trends, with a focus on longevity, organic materials, and playful design. Founded by Katlego Mokwana, the brand was established to address harmful practices within the fashion industry and offer a more intentional approach to making and consuming.
Sustainability is embedded in every aspect of the brand, with core values rooted in the use of organic textiles, zero-waste design principles, and natural dye techniques. Through fashion, textiles, and future lifestyle products, Mother of Gao celebrates craftsmanship, creativity, and responsible design.
With an emphasis on slow production and purposeful creation, Mother of Gao continues to grow as a contemporary brand dedicated to timeless essentials and products designed to become lasting parts of everyday life.
