Gift ideas Cape Town

Created by five committed French-speaking entrepreneurs, the new collective nicely named Les Artisanes du Cap promises us a singular shopping experience. The concept? Souvenirs that come to you through tailor-made private sales. Among the great diversity of handcrafted objects, all the approaches are responsible, ethical and the brands are solidarity-based. The direct sales offer you without any doubt an advantageous price and the certainty to support the local economy. A personal shopper in the colours of South Africa.

A pretty courtyard, like a very small square, all charming with a view of the ocean, and all around, wooden huts each corresponding to a small shop. A second-hand shop, an original clothing shop, another one for decoration, designer jewellery on one side, and trinkets, cups and other gadgets in the colours of Kalk Bay, posters of local artists... Beautiful items for sale, and at the end of the courtyard, directly on the ocean, a small blue café where it is nice to stop for an iced coffee while looking at the ocean.

African Jacquard creations combine the French tradition of linen weaving with the warm colors of Africa for the pleasure of our tables and our kitchens! Weaving linens in the colors of the continent using the Jacquard process. The designs speak of travel stories, symbols, places that we sometimes find difficult to leave, from which we want to bring back beautiful memories. On the creative side, Christine has teamed up with young South African designers in Cape Town, to broaden the sources of inspiration and styles.
