Ntozinhle Lifestyle

Where Craftsmanship Carries Culture

A Vision Rooted in Community

In November 2024, Tourvest Retail and Catering introduced Ntozinhle Lifestyle to its portfolio, a brand defined not only by design, but by purpose.
Founded in 2012 by Sphelele Nozipho Chikowi (Lele), Ntozinhle Lifestyle was born from a deep reverence for South Africa’s cultural heritage. From its beginnings in Orlando West, the brand set out to do more than create beautiful pieces, it set out to preserve artistry, empower communities and tell African stories through craftsmanship.
Every garment, accessory and homeware piece reflects identity, modern in expression yet deeply rooted in tradition.
 

The Power of Handcrafted Heritage

At the heart of Ntozinhle Lifestyle lies collaboration. Skilled women from Kwa-Ndebele bring intricate beadwork to life, while artisans from Vosloorus contribute their leather expertise. This union of talent ensures that each creation is unique, shaped by hand, guided by heritage and finished with intention.
This approach does more than elevate design. It sustains traditional skills, creates meaningful employment and fosters economic participation within local communities. Craft becomes both livelihood and legacy.
Quality is uncompromising. With a lifetime guarantee across its collections, Ntozinhle Lifestyle reinforces its belief that true craftsmanship endures.
 

Bringing African Artistry to the Skies

Through partnerships with African airlines, Tourvest Retail and Catering has created new platforms for proudly local brands to reach a global audience. The introduction of Ntozinhle Lifestyle into the onboard retail environment extends the journey of African design beyond borders.
For travellers, these pieces offer more than aesthetic appeal, they offer connection. A reminder that what they carry home is not simply an accessory or keepsake, but a story of heritage, resilience and creativity.
 

A Retail Experience with Meaning

As consumer expectations shift toward authenticity and impact, Ntozinhle Lifestyle represents a new dimension of onboard retail, one where commerce and culture coexist.
By championing brands that prioritise social upliftment and craftsmanship, Tourvest Retail and Catering continue to shape retail experiences that resonate beyond the cabin. The result is a curated offering that reflects the vibrancy, diversity and entrepreneurial spirit of Africa.
In celebrating Ntozinhle Lifestyle, the journey becomes more than travel, it becomes a celebration of culture, carried forward by hand.
