Women behind Nicci Needle

33 YEARS: A PEEK AT BACKBONE OF FASHION BRAND

- Citizen reporter

This Women's Month we dive into Nicci's 33-year journey of how a fashion brand born in the heart of Joburg has been stitching stories of strength, growth, and sisterhood, creating a corporate space where women thrive.

We introduce you – in chronological order – to the phenomenal women who have become the foundation of resilience, leadership, and unmatched imagination, all while embracing timeless fashion.

Behind every garment at Nicci is a woman with a dream, a family to support, a vision for her life and a community cheering her on. From the cutting table to the boardroom, women lead with intention, resilience, and heart.

Cofounder of Nicci, 33 years

Niki's journey began in 1992 with her husband and cofounder, Clive Breger.

Through bold vision, careful planning and an unwavering belief in women, Nicci has grown into a proudly women-first brand with 19 stores across South Africa. For Niki, the brand is a community where women enter the world of retail and thrive.

Under Niki's guidance, women have grown from first-time sales consultants to store managers and department heads.
