BUTAN

 Butan has been commercially available since early 2006 but has its humble beginnings in 2001 when Julian, the founder of the brand, printed 20 tees for his school mates with a simple design he had sketched in his black book. 

 Julian went on to study engineering, but uninspired by the engineering field and fueled by the passion for design and street wear, he decided to start his own street wear brand after finishing his degree. 

 With only R2000 to play with the brand was carefully built by putting every cent back into the business. Every aspect of the business is self taught and it’s been a journey full of obstacles and surprises.”The cheapest learning you will ever do is in school’ 

 But perseverance and holding onto his dream has paid off. Butan is now fast becoming one of the biggest street wear labels in South Africa and there is no stopping us now. Watch this space!
