The Goosen (Pty) Ltd is a Cape Town–based fashion design, product development, and manufacturing company specialising in apparel and leather goods. The business operates as an integrated design and manufacturing studio, offering end-to-end services from concept development through to production.
The company designs and manufactures its own brands, including My Goose, a contemporary ready-to-wear label, and Ruan Goosen Privé, which focuses on bespoke bridalwear, occasion wear, and custom commissions. In addition to its own collections, The Goosen (Pty) Ltd provides product development and manufacturing services to other fashion brands and entrepreneurs, including patternmaking, technical pack development, sampling, prototyping, small-batch production (CMT), and leather goods manufacturing.
A key part of the company's business model is supporting emerging designers who cannot meet the high minimum order quantities required by traditional factories.
