Find details on Keedo factory shops in South Africa for great bargains on children
Keedo is a clothing retail brand that specialises in clothing for children and infants, and is one of the most popular brands of its kind in South Africa.
With a focus on social responsibility and ethical conduct as well as quality products that are designed to be both comfortable and functional for children, the company has gone from strength to strength in its just over twenty years of operation.
Keedo is also one of South Africa’s great entrepreneurial success stories, and begins with the company’s founder, Nelia Annandale. Raised on a farm in Gauteng, Annandale was a creative child from an early age, and went on to have twins in 1991. Two years later, she was gravely injured in a near-fatal skiing accident that left her hospitalised for an extended period.
During this time, Annandale had a revelation that sparked her drive to create something with her life that would be beneficial to children as well as the environment.
Rise of a childrens clothing giant
Annandale began by making clothes for her own children, and soon developed a keen talent for clothing design. Driven to take this talent further, she approached a bank for a small loan with which she launched the first outlet for her children’s clothing company, which she named Keedo as a tribute to her own children. Her own experience as a mother has contributed greatly to the company’s overall success.
