About Lontana

Twenty-seven years. Six thousand pieces a month. One idea: clothing should be made with care, by people who know the craft.

Lontana is the manufacturing arm of the Presidential Group. Our design, pattern-making, modelling and production teams work side by side in Woodstock, Cape Town.

That's why private label brands, corporates and retailers trust us with their ranges. Quality stays consistent from the first sample to the thousandth shirt.
