Company History
The history of Donna Claire begins properly with that of its parent company, Foschini. Founded in 1925, this well-known name in South African fashion, now one of the largest in the country, started out as a single store in Johannesburg that sold inexpensive fashion items for women that were initially imported from the United States of America.
