My name is Ruandri, and I am the owner of Once Upon a Time Boutique Craft Centre. We originally started in Windhoek, Namibia, over 24 years ago, founded by my late mother, Mandria. After her passing, I decided to transition from the medical field and embrace my legacy by expanding our boutique globally. We specialize in beautifully curated garments, each telling its own unique story, with a collection that blends local and international materials like leather, cotton, linen, and more.
Once Upon a Time Boutique Craft Centre is not just a boutique; it’s a place where stories are woven into every thread. A haven for those who seek more than just clothing, this boutique celebrates the artistry of craftsmanship and the beauty of individuality. Here, each garment is a unique tale—carefully crafted, richly textured, and thoughtfully designed and sourced to reflect the soul of both its creator and its wearer.
At Once Upon a Time, the garments go beyond fashion; they are an embodiment of memories, traditions, and emotions. From hand-stitched dresses to finely tailored coats, each piece tells its own story, inviting you to discover the history behind the fabric, the inspiration behind the design,
