About Us - Minty's Fabrics

What are you looking for?

Since 1984

It began with a dream and a love for fabric more than three decades ago. Founded by Shehnaz and Hoosen Moorad, Minty’s first opened its doors in 1984 in the heart of Durban’s bustling city centre. Minty’s stood apart by curating and selecting the finest fashion and couture fabrics from around the world – and bringing it to a local market with tailored service. With a timeless aesthetic, contemporary vision and excellence in the execution, Minty’s established itself as a pioneer in the fabric landscape. Passionate about building partnerships with global artisans who are the best in their craft and take pride in their work, Minty’s collections are and always have been vogue and unique. Today, the family run business has evolved without losing sight of its origins. After 30 years in business, Minty’s Fabrics has become a South African landmark for unique, premier fabric.
