My name is Ruandri, and I am the owner of Once Upon a Time Boutique Craft Centre. We are a family-owned business that originally started in Windhoek, Namibia, over 24 years ago, founded by my late mother, Mandria. After her passing, I decided to transition from the medical field and embrace my legacy by expanding our boutique into South Africa. We specialize in beautifully crafted garments, each telling its own unique story, with a collection that blends local and international materials like leather, cotton, linen, and more.
Once Upon a Time Boutique Craft Centre is not just a boutique; it’s a place where stories are woven into every thread. A haven for those who seek more than just clothing, this boutique celebrates the artistry of craftsmanship and the beauty of individuality. Here, each garment is a unique tale—carefully crafted, richly textured, and thoughtfully designed to reflect the soul of both its creator and its wearer.
At Once Upon a Time, the garments go beyond fashion; they are an embodiment of memories, traditions, and emotions. From hand-stitched dresses to finely tailored coats, each piece tells its own story, inviting you to discover the history behind the fabric, the inspiration behind the design,
