		<description><![CDATA[The international fashion brand, renowned for its biannual collections of luxury scarves, has launched a range of fine leather accessories. Lalela Scarf has now extended its existing product range to include gorgeous leather accessories that show off inspiring artwork created by at-risk youth who participate in NPO Lalela’s arts education programme. The new leather range includes handbags that double as clutches and bright, funky luggage tags. The eye-catching pieces are practical and functional – the handbags can be toted around via a stylish metal handle, or can be folded and kept under one’s arm as a clutch. The size is large enough to fit an iPad yet elegant enough to take to a dinner party. With affordability in mind, Lalela Scarf has also created a line of luggage tags perfect for customers of all price ranges. The luggage tags have a nifty airplane motif and are sure to stand out on airport carousels. Initially, the brand was looking to create something less expensive for corporate gifting; however, the luggage tags became so popular that they were added to the line. “They make great housewarming gifts, perfect stocking fillers, and are a delight for travellers as they are bright and fun,” [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[LABOTESSA, First Hotel in Portfolio, Set to Open August 2019 LABOTESSA, a 17th-century congregational church now turned lifestyle hotel, will open in Cape Town in August 2019. Originally built in the early 1700s, the intimate, seven-roomed property is one of the oldest buildings in South Africa and the debut project in the LABOTESSA portfolio by first-time hoteliers Jan Fourie and Johan du Plessis. The South African owners and founders were inspired by the opportunity to meld heritage and old-world elegance with visionary new world design. “We are delighted to begin our foray into hotel ownership with one of South Africa&#8217;s oldest buildings, which has been a true testament to the country’s rich history and heritage,&#8221; says du Plessis. “LABOTESSA is a culmination of our affinity for exceptional design, relaxed hospitality, and our connection to the city of Cape Town.” Situated in a restored national monument structure in the heart of the city, LABOTESSA is the only hotel on historic Church Square. This landmark lifestyle property blends luxury and personal service with the independence of residential living. Each of the hotel’s seven spacious suites features private elevator access, a balcony and sweeping views of the city, Lion’s Head and Table Mountain. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Adam Court, responsible for all furniture design by artisanal luxury brand OKHA, immediately fell in love with the “Verde Magnifico” marble when he saw it; the marbles visible layers of history speak to OKHA’s South African locality of cosmopolitan, polyglot and multi-cultural charm. Court conceived of Magnifico side and Magnifico coffee table together. A pair of hand-crafted tables, whose varying sizes and weights represent OKHA’s small artisanal position as well as its global expression; their irregular shape of perfect triangle and perfect square cut off at the edges are testament to the vast natural geologic surroundings of Cape Town and South Africa which inform OKHA’s design process and choice of materials. Marble is a metamorphic rock; it forms the backbone of empire and artefacts, it is created when sedimentary limestone is compressed by movement of the earth’s crust; the intense heat and pressure causing the stone’s crystals to grow and interlock forging a new and denser type of stone, marble as we know it. The Magnifico Coffee table’s Mars red “Flame Travertine” distinctly reveals the original sedimentary layers, most likely deposited by hot springs.  Made from the wood of the Larch tree, a conifer dominant in the boreal forests of Siberia and Canada, the table legs are over-scaled, intentionally [...]]]></description>
