At Salty Red, we see childhood as a vibrant adventure, a story waiting to be told through colour and creativity. Our South African-made clothing for kids aged 3 to 12 is more than just fashion—it’s a celebration of joy, imagination, and self-expression. And a dare to be DIFFERENT!

Meet the Founder

I'm Tennille Gay, founder and owner of Salty Red Kids Clothing and proud mom of three littlies. After 13 years in the corporate world, I followed my passion to create unique, colourful and playful outfits. Dressing my own kids has always been a joy, and I wanted to bring that same excitement to other parents who love seeing their children stand out.

Embracing Colourful Individuality

Each child is one of a kind, and their outfits should be too. That’s why our collections feature bold prints, bright hues, and playful patterns with an emphasis on the wild—each piece designed to celebrate the boundless energy of childhood. We want kids to wear more than just clothes; we want them to wear their stories.

Proudly South African Craftsmanship

Rooted in the wild and colourful landscapes of South Africa, our clothing is a tribute to local artisans and craftsmanship. Every piece is thoughtfully designed and ethically made, supporting a sustainable supply chain that uplifts our community. When you choose Salty Red, you’re not just buying kids’ clothing—you’re investing in quality, creativity, and the talent of South African makers.
