Unusual gifts made with spirited South African innovation can be found at this eclectic three-story housewares and apparel shop, set among the hipster clubs and backpackers' haunts of Long Street. The building itself is worth a visit (it's a Victorian gem from 1899, with a perilous spiral staircase that you might not fit through if you've just had a big breakfast), but you'll also find unique merchandise here: filigreed earrings and chunky bracelets, floral vinyl bags and brightly trimmed white bathrobes, and original locally made artwork and ceramics.
