Our Founder Mandie Martin

As a fashion designer (DUT class of 1991) who has worked on fashion magazines, including Marie Claire and Red in the UK, you can say I have always had a love of fashion.

When I started Trinity I was a busy working mum with three very active children ranging from 17 to 9 years old. I always found it really difficult to get away for a few hours to do a little clothes shopping. Then, once I was out there, I could never find exactly what I was looking for! I was searching for simple and comfortable clothing (by comfortable I do not mean gym kit or leggings) clothing for the woman on the run. This, unfortunately, was no easy task as “comfortable” never really translates well into fashionable! So I started making clothes for myself and friends whenever I had the time.

With one child safely at university, I found I had more time on my hands and I used this time to create Trinity – an online fashion trove for all the stylish busy women out there looking for STYLISH but comfortable clothing!

I am passionate about all things local so I design all our garments in-house and manufacture them locally right here in the heart of Durban. I am blessed to love what I do – designing covetable, beautiful garments and accessories, to simplify your search, to fulfil your needs and always to make your shopping experience enjoyable.

My aim is to design innovative, contemporary clothes and accessories that appeal to the modern women – reflecting our ever-changing lifestyles.
I hope you enjoy this online shopping experience as much as I have enjoyed creating it.

Happy shopping!
