About Us

Our Story

It started with a dream to create a top-notch online fashion accessory and gift shop for men where our customers can buy hand-picked champion products for themselves, their friends and/or partners.

It is challenging and time-consuming for someone with a busy schedule and/or a family to find unique fashion accessories and gifts.

We want to free up your time and create a quick, unique, and convenient online shop for you so that you can focus on your work, family, and goals.

About The Name That Bloke

The word bloke is a slang term for a man or guy, used mostly in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. The earliest known usage of the word is from the early 19th century when it was recorded as a London slang term.

The brand name That Bloke was chosen because of its masculine origin, memorability and the simply glorious feeling it creates when you pronounce the word "Bloke".

Meet The Founder

Born, raised and still residing in Pretoria, South Africa, the Founder Stefan Marais is passionate about retail, unique products, and of course e-commerce and online shopping.

As a creative advocate, Stefan found it very challenging and draining working for a boss as a company employee. The hunger for personal growth and development soon overtook his desire for the comfortable 8 to 5 work day. He started thinking about his passions, experience, and skills and how he could use it to start a new venture.

In 2018, after countless research, brain-storming ideas and realising that it was now or never, he started an online shop for men called That Bloke.
