LOCAL empowerment company Brimstone Investment Corporation’s more than 20-year relationship with clothing manufacturer House of Monatic (HoM) has ended.
Sometimes that relationship hung by a thread – with HoM struggling against cheaper imports and watching as informal wear at work gradually replaced the donning of suits. HoM – which is over 100 years old – was best known for its stylish Carducci suits.
Still, HoM was one of the last clothing manufacturing enterprises still left in the Western Cape. The business was a significant employer in Cape Town, and thus there was constant fretting that after many years of successive losses that Brimstone would pull the plug in the company.
