About Me

ArteM is somewhat of a local fashion rarity. Every single piece has been conceptualized, produced, and rounded off by our founder and designer Adele Stein. Not the type of designer to produce a rich collection and then take a bow wearing all black, Adele embodies (and wears) the regal linen separates she designs. On her travels to Europe and East Asia, Adele sources the fabrics that will be added to her suitcase and flown back to Old Castle Brewery in Cape Town’s Woodstock. There, the limited amount of fabric is crafted into a limited amount of garments by Adele and her design staff in our brand new studio. 

 

For Adele, it really isn’t about quantity. Her idea of quality is attention to detail in clothing, and while the core value of ArteM may be simplicity, each piece is a seamless conglomeration of considered detailing: If it doesn’t have pockets, it’s probably not ArteM. Adele loves taking fabrics traditionally reserved for menswear and using them to line or round off the inside of jackets, trousers, and skirts. The label also shows an appreciation of asymmetry and the idea of the unfinished.
