Pauthes Home Scales Footprint Through Strategic Partnerships with Retail Giants Leroy Merlin and Makro
JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA — September 1, 2026 — Pauthes Home, a premier South African furniture design brand known for its bespoke craftsmanship, high-end bedroom suites, and contemporary home accents, today formally highlights its expanding nationwide retail distribution network through long-standing and new strategic partnerships with industry leaders Leroy Merlin and Makro.
Following four years of successful collaboration with global home improvement retailer Leroy Merlin, Pauthes Home has established a proven track record of quality, reliability, and sustained customer demand. Building on this momentum, the company's recent partnership with general merchandise giant Makro marks another major milestone, significantly broadening access to its luxury home furniture collections for customers across South Africa.
Through these combined retail platforms, customers can seamlessly access Pauthes Home's signature designs — including custom tufted headboards, velvet base sets, and Scandinavian-inspired dressers — backed by the trust, logistical efficiency, and reach of South Africa's largest retail ecosystems.
"Our four-year relationship with Leroy Merlin laid a strong foundation for scaling our manufacturing and distribution while keeping our commitment to quality craftsmanship front and center," said Paulina Tayengwa, Founder and Creative Director of Pauthes Home. "Partnering with Makro is a natural next step in our growth strategy, bringing our unique home furniture directly to a wider audience seeking stylish, premium living solutions."
The dual partnerships position Pauthes Home for continued growth in both the direct-to-consumer and corporate supply spaces, strengthening its role as a competitive player in South Africa's growing interior design and retail sector.
