Watch Spring unfold in the pages of House and Leisure Volume 22, ‘flower’ - in full bloom.

We’re delighted to see local design woven throughout the issue, showcasing the craft and character of pieces made here in South Africa.

Every season shift brings the same quiet question. What do I actually want to wear now?

Not the winter layers. Not last year’s version of spring. Something fresh - but considered. Pieces that work together, made by South African makers who understand exactly this moment.

The Spring Wardrobe Edit is here. Locally made, curated for the refresh you’ve been thinking about. Shop the edit, link in bio.

Episode 03 of The Roundtable Podcast is here, and this one goes deep.

What does it mean to create art that feels both deeply personal and distinctly South African? We sit down with four women shaping our local creative landscape to explore exactly that.

Joined by Andi Norton of Stellenbosch Triennale, Nina Kruger of La Motte W**e Ateljee, Marie-louise Koen the M A R I E L O U I S E K O E N and Nicola Andrag of VELT Designs © | Keepsake Botanical Art & Herbariums , we talk about identity, collaboration, the blurring lines between art and craft, and what it really takes to build a creative practice that lasts.

We also look beyond the work itself, exploring what’s needed to create sustainable pathways for artists and creatives through education, development and community.

This is a conversation about storytelling, connection and the role art plays in shaping not just what we see, but how we feel, connect and belong.

Behind every local brand is a moment that made it real.

A first stockist. A sell-out launch. A product that crossed a border. A review that made them cry. A child watching their mom build something from nothing.

This is part three of our Women’s Month founder spotlight - and the stories just keep getting better. Because South African women don’t just build brands. They build legacies.

Read our latest editorial “Local Beyond the Purchase” to see some of the impact female-les brands are making.

We’ve been told that success looks like scaling up. More staff, bigger space, higher revenue. But the women we sat down with for episode two of The Roundtable Podcast have a different story - and honestly, it’s the one worth hearing.

A snapshot of our year so far.

New office. New web app. Campaign shoots. Magazine features. House and Leisure at Art Fair. Our own tote bags. Season 2 of the podcast. And something quietly brewing for September. 🎁

It has been a year of showing up, rolling up our sleeves and choosing hope - driven by a genuine love for local and the every maker and person behind it. We’re a small team of women making things happen, one edit at a time. Thank you for being part of it.
