Eden Park - Store Manager - Sandton City, Gauteng

THE BRAND WITH THE PINK BOW TIE

At Eden Park, we blend the elegance of Parisian fashion with the authentic spirit of rugby. Founded in 1987 by international rugby players Franck Mesnel and Eric Blanc, the brand was born from a desire to push boundaries, fusing bold design with refined French-style craftmanship and creation. Instantly recognizable by our iconic pink bow tie logo, Eden Park, is more than a brand; it’s a symbol of creative confidence, attention to detail and timeless style.

With roots in sport and an eye for sophistication, Eden Park offers premium apparel for customers who appreciate high-quality authentic and contemporary fashion.
