Meet Natalie Dunn: The Local Heart Behind BOK BABE™

Born and bred in Cape Town, Natalie Dunn is as proudly local as they come — and she’s the creative force who brought BOK BABE™ to life.

After 26 years in the financial services industry, Natalie decided it was finally time to chase her other big “F” of passion: fashion. In 2022, she took the leap.

It all started with online courses to qualify as an image consultant and professional stylist. But she didn’t stop there — she jumped headfirst into the buzzing creative scene of Woodstock, spending her Saturday mornings at a leading fashion academy, soaking up everything from design to sewing to pattern making.

Armed with fresh skills and an unstoppable drive, Natalie began creating, experimenting, and testing her ideas on the local market. It didn’t take long for her two great loves — the gees of rugby and the flair of local fashion — to collide in the best possible way.

And that’s how BOK BABE™ was born.

A brand built on local pride, bold style, and a whole lot of Glam Gees, Natalie’s journey proves that it’s never too late to start something new — especially when it’s stitched with passion and a love for all things South African.

So next time you slip into your sparkly BOK BABE™ gear, know there’s a proudly Cape Town story behind every stitch.
