About Pall Mall

Pall Mall Celebrates 76 successful years in the clothing Industry this year.

Our History

Where it all began

Pall Mall Neckwear was founded in April 1949 by Anne and Rudi Landecker. With Anne’s skill as a seamstress and Rudi’s passion for sales, the couple built a business rooted in quality and craftsmanship. Using the finest imported fabrics from Germany and Switzerland, Anne handmade each tie while Rudi travelled the country selling them alongside his shoe range one customer at a time.

Rudi’s brother owned a tie company in Cape Town called Lord Tie, which Rudi eventually acquired. From there, the family business continued to grow. Rudi and Anne’s daughters, Evelyn and Joan, played an important role in the legacy, Evelyn and her husband Eppie managed Lord Tie in Cape Town before immigrating, while Joan and her husband Bill Freedman took the reins of Pall Mall in Durban.

After Bill’s passing in 2005, Joan and her daughter Tracey carried the torch. Tracey continued to guide the business, always consulting Joan for her experience, insight, and the values that shaped Pall Mall from the start.

In 2021, Pall Mall Neckwear entered a new chapter under the ownership of Kerusha Munian, carrying forward a legacy of craftsmanship, family tradition, and timeless style.
