Cape Union Mart traces its outdoor roots to 1933, while Old Khaki and Poetry expanded the group’s apparel and lifestyle reach in the following years. The group's operations are centered in Cape Town, where it maintains a significant presence in the regional retail market. It also runs an internal design and manufacturing capability through the Green Thread initiative, launched in 2022, to support product development in Cape Town. In 2026, the company expanded its geographic footprint with a new store opening in Haiti, reflecting growth beyond the African continent.
