meet lelive's founder: amanda du-pont.
lelive's name was inspired by Amanda's unofficial swazi name, and means 'of the nation or world', which was a perfect fit as lelive is all about building a strong community that we support, listen to and are guided by.
"In the development of this range, we were looking for a brand and product that was clean, simple and effective, whilst staying true to what makes Africa truly unique."
our promises.
