Being new to Johannesburg, I'm still in the exploration phase. While roaming around, I stumbled across this cosy gem called The Factory on Grant in Norwood. Many Joburgers may know about it, but for me it was a pleasant surprise! Here are a few of the things you can look forward to!
A great cup of coffee at Vevo Telo. It's known as a lovely bakery and cafe, perfect to fill up your empty tummy!
The Somerset Jane boutique! I was lucky enough to meet the designer herself, Melissa! She has shown at South African Fashion Week and mentioned by Elle magazine SA to design easy and effortless clothing! Pay a visit to her boutique or look out for her designs on Spree (coming soon)!
Connect with her on the Somerset Jane Facebook page or on Twitter @somersetjane and Instagram @somerset_jane.
I was also happy to find a cool textile studio called Mesaw. If you're looking for beautifully unique hand printed textiles and custom made homeware, do check out this studio! I struck it lucky again
and met the owner, Mayuri! Not only does she sell her designs, but she also does printing workshops! So if you're looking for a new creative outlet, consider putting this on your to do list! I definitely am! Catch Mayuri on Facebook and Twitter @mesawstudio and on Instagram @iammesaw.
The last store I want to introduce you to is an inspiring one called, The Factory Shop! It sells amazing accessories for you and your home and all products in the store are strictly, proudly South African! Apart from the amazing candles, designer towels and the most incredible tea leaves, it also stocks some of the most stylish Simon and Mary designer hats! I absolutely want one! Visit their Facebook page and check out their cool items!
The Factory on Grant goes from a cozy afternoon chillout space to a vibey night market every Friday! So pop over tomorrow evening for some shopping and let your hair down at their roof top chill out spot! Check them out on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/thefactoryongrant for more info.
Hope to see you there!
