Yanai Collection

Founded and designed by the renowned Tapiwa Zandile Mudekunye in Harare, Zimbabwe, Yanai Collection has taken the Harare streets by storm with their perfectly tailored clothes and unique designs. A former Liability Claims Adjuster at GEICO, Tapiwa studied BS Business Administration at Texas but later decided to take a leap of faith and follow her dreams into fashion where she catapulted into country wide success. With the success of the Borrowdale Shop, the Yanai brand has gone continental with the opening of a shop in the very competitive market of South Africa where it is becoming a force to be reckoned with.

Yanai has been successful in positioning itself as an apparel brand of an upscale afro fusion clothing line targeting females with an eclectic and adventurous dress sense. The key message associated with Yanai is classy, upscale, and versatile yet affordable clothing. Print apparel (ankara) has long been thought of as occasion-wear or attire for the more mature fashionistas but Yanai believes that apparel in African print is for everyday wear and for every kind of occasion and every age group.

 In an effort to spread the African feel across and beyond the African continent, Yanai clothing is available to various countries as per store regions.
