Ivhu Tribe is an African fashion brand rooted in connection, education, and creation, driven by a deep belief in the importance of preserving cultural diversity in the face of globalization. The brand recognizes that clothing plays a symbolic and powerful role in safeguarding values, identity, and cultural heritage.

Founded in 2023 by Jasper Mandizera, a Zimbabwean fashion visionary and epic cinema aficionado, Ivhu Tribe was born from a passion for storytelling, culture, and contemporary African expression.

Ivhu Tribe offers an eclectic assortment of bold, extravagant, and modern designs. A significant share of its collections incorporates elements that reflect the essence of its native land, characterized by distinctive tribal prints and cultural motifs reimagined through a contemporary lens.

In 2025, Ivhu Tribe presented its collection at World Fashion Week Shanghai 2025, achieving strong international exposure and critical recognition. The presentation marked a major milestone for the brand, significantly expanding its global reach and positioning Ivhu Tribe as an emerging voice in contemporary African fashion on the international stage.

The name “Ivhu” comes from the Shona word meaning land or soil. It reflects the brand’s philosophy: just as soil gives life in its purest form, Ivhu Tribe seeks to breathe new, revitalizing life into contemporary African fashion. The brand celebrates the beauty found in simplicity while honoring the foundational role of land, heritage, and ancestry.

With a core objective of elevating both local and international appreciation for authentic cultural heritage, Ivhu Tribe aims to develop fresh perspectives on African fashion. Its long-term vision is to become a leading force in contemporary African wear, with a strong focus on achieving significant market presence across Sub-Saharan Africa.
