SHOPPING TOURS

South Africa is a shopper’s mecca, the favourable exchange rate adding to its appeal.

Having lived abroad for many years, the variety and quality of goods in South Africa always delights and amazes me. In fact, I would always buy box loads of décor items in South Africa to take back to whichever part of the world I was living in.

The options are endless: great clothing and shoes, exquisite jewellery, home décor items and furniture, fine wines, stunning art work, and creative crafts, both useful and decorative. Every area of the country has shopping malls and craft centres.

Some of the craft items on offer include:
Furniture items (ottomans, rugs etc) covered in animal hides
Bags, shoes, hats, wallets, purses, belts etc in ostrich, buffalo and other leather
Mohair shawls, wraps, cushion covers and runners
Woven rugs, throws baskets, table runners, bath mats, place mats in cotton, chenille and wool
Stunning ceramic plates, bowls, pots, vases, lamps, etc in modern and traditional designs
Beaded items including jewellery, clothes, tableware, personal items, décor items
Glassware
Candles
Handmade paper products – books, frames, albums,
Placemats, bowls woven in grass or telephone wire
Wood carvings, wooden bowls, salad servers, plates
Metal works
Items made from ostrich shell (picture frames, mirror frames etc)
Stone Carvings

For traditional African crafts from all over Africa, visit the Rosebank Rooftop market on a Sunday.
