From humble beginnings

Dave McClenaghan and his wife Veronique started out buying and selling t-shirts in KwaZulu Natal and later moved to George where it was through Dave’s innovative thinking, a goal, a strong-willed mind, and attitude, that excelled Vic Bay to where it is today. We have grown hugely over the years, and are a one-of-a-kind in business in South Africa that controls the complete manufacturing process from raw cotton to the finished garment.

The factory, which produces our garments (all under one roof), is located in the 6th oldest town in South Africa, George - the Capital of the Southern Cape, and the heart of the Garden Route. This historically rich town is a visual paradise whichever way you turn.

9km down to the beautiful waters of Victoria Bay. This is not only a popular local surf spot but also where the founding members’ (Dave McClenaghan) sons rode the waves throughout their adolescence years, hence where the name Vic Bay originated from.

Our history proves that with a goal and a positive attitude, nothing is impossible!
