my new shop space to be

the building



i'll be upstairs here
looking onto origin coffee roastery from my shop windows

here's a look at the beautiful old building that's been renovated in the area of de waterkant, that i plan to set up shop in. the concept of the emporium was inspired by the mythology crew's overseas trips some time ago, where designers and shop owners had small spaces within a larger building in melbourne, australia. most of us are actually from kalk bay, with the mythology girls having done a brilliant job bringing the breezy, laid back and summery kalk bay feeling to their de waterkant store. the store is across the road from origin and is located in a trendy and vibey area, where most of the old victorian and edwardian buildings have been preserved, lending the area a quirky and historical feel. i predict that de waterkant, with the newly finished cape quarter shopping complex, is going to become the shopping destination in cape town. well here's hoping!!!!!!!!!! being a few hundred metres away from the world cup stadium won't hurt sales either!

Thank you! I hope it works out. Its perfect for me, as each floor has its own shop assistants and point of sale, allowing me to be at my shop in the morning and to still pick my son up at school later and to know that there will be brilliant shop assistants there when I am not. I hope you will all visit!

So glad you all like the space...I don't know about working magic Jezze, I struggle to make small spaces with the tiniest budget, but I do try!
