History

Founded in 2015 by the Corner Store collective in Johannesburg, Housebrand emerged as a central element of the South African streetwear movement. It transitioned local youth culture from consuming international brands to supporting domestic design. The label gained significance through its ties to the Boyz n Bucks creative group, merging music and fashion. It remains a reference point for the development of independent retail and brand ownership within the Braamfontein fashion district.
