2 Best Places to Shop in Bo-Kaap, Cape Town

This spot houses two distinctively African brands under one roof. Chill Cape Town is a range of luxurious, utterly organic, all-natural, sustainable skincare conceptualized in the Mother City and made with African botanicals. Milles Collines is a clothing, accessories, apparel, and homeware brand born out of a partnership between a Rwandan seamstress and a Spanish design student who shared a dream of creating a luxurious line steeped in age-old craft traditions and exacting quality. Think gorgeous gold-and-black Halisi shawls, beautiful Kichana wraps, and shoulder-to-ankle Imara scarves.

This by-appointment gallery and workshop showcases the artfully created ceramics of Michael Chandler whose work has been exhibited at the South African National Gallery. He creates whimsical and beautiful handpainted tiles, porcelain pieces painted cobalt blue, and works in ink on paper. Exhibitions by Chandler and other artists happen from time to time at The Voorkamer Gallery, attached to the studio.
