		<description><![CDATA[It’s high time to explore the Mother City’s world-renowned and ever-dynamic creative community! Design is putting its best foot forward this June and inviting you to step out on the inaugural Cape Town Design Trail from 1-30 June 2021. Over 100 participating designers, studios and brands will bring the entire month to life with a stimulating array of launches, exhibitions, presentations, talks and displays. The new trail gives participants one-on-one access to incredible showrooms and private maker spaces while raising the bar for the industry and involving the city as a whole. Not-to-be-missed, the trail is presented by the Decorex Africa portfolio and is the first of its kind for the city. The array of stimulating sights and sounds allows Cape Town to cement its reputation as a creative capital, and a former World Design Capital. Cape Town is also the first city in Africa to be named a UNESCO City of Design &#8211; and the accolade is rightly deserved when you look at the exceptional calibre of its creative citizens. To help you make sense of the massive variety and number of participants, the trail has been divided into a series of curated routes, each with its own theme. For example, if you are interested [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Going green AND supporting local is now easier than ever! This is thanks to the new export-ready, sustainable homeware and fashion items launched as part of NEXT21, an exhibition of South African design which has just gone live. Now in its fourth iteration, NEXT is an export development initiative of the Craft and Design Institute (CDI) that has achieved much success in promoting South African design to international buyers. The annual exhibition is also aimed at showcasing the best of local to South African retailers, interior designers, decorators and members of the public. This year, among the exciting new designs on offer from more than 20 exhibitors from across the country, there are a number of brands that base their production on recycling, upcycling and ingenious use of sustainable materials. The eco highlights of NEXT21 are: Eco Furniture Design From its humble beginnings in a garage, Eco Furniture Design has spent the last decade fulfilling its vision of being an environmentally and socially aware company. The brand now has two contemporary furniture stores – one in Durbanville and the other in Woodstock, Cape Town – alongside its factory, where it manufactures the superbly understated, functional furniture for which it is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s the perfect time for South Africans to explore their own turf. With amazing variety, unmatched scenery, service-level excellence and an unlimited array of activities and excursions on our doorstep, it’s easy to make a case for a staycation on our incredible home soil. The Cellars-Hohenort is located in arguably one of Cape Town, and South Africa’s most idyllic locations. A picturesque suburb, conducive to total escape, but only 15 minutes from the city centre, Constantia is venerated for its beautiful scenery, historical properties and access to a multitude of lifestyle and leisure pursuits. The oldest wine region in the country, the Constantia Wine Valley boasts some of South Africa’s most impressive and storied estates – whose grounds, wineries and eateries match up to their legacy in years. With no less than five exquisite options in close proximity to The Cellars-Hohenort (namely , , , and ) you’ll have your pick for cellar visits and tastings. The Cellars-Hohenort also grows its own vines and features a region-centric wine list. And the culinary offering in the area equals that of the wine.

		<description><![CDATA[Luckily, South Africa is blessed with epic, world-class tourist destinations, the kind that attracts a steady flow of foreign travelers under “normal” circumstances. Fortunate locals are spoilt for choice when it comes to planning a local breakaway. One such famed attraction is South Africa’s verdant Garden Route – a spectacular stretch of coastline on the eastern shores of the country that is peppered with must-see sights and hotspots. Spectacular views, misty indigenous forests, nature reserves, seaside resorts offering excellent cafés, curio shops, and fresh seafood, and a wide selection of outdoor adventure activities, are just a few of the reasons this east coast trail is so well-loved. The charming coastal towns of Plettenberg Bay, Knysna, Wilderness and Sedgefield are all a short drive from George Airport, approximately six hours drive from Cape Town and twelve hours drive from Johannesburg &#8211; perfect for a long weekend or an extended stay. But the veritable jewel in the Garden Route crown is undoubtedly Plettenberg Bay, affectionately known as “Plett”. It is not hard to understand why, thanks to Plett’s incredible natural surroundings, beautiful and pristine beaches, plentiful marine life, leisure pursuits, adventure activities, wildlife sanctuaries and luxury accommodation destinations. When staying in Plett, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now that inter-provincial leisure travel is permitted, but international flights are not yet on the cards, and what with conventional school terms all awry, South Africans are revising their holiday plans. This new move to enjoy the finest of local, right here, right now, comes with the added patriotic thrust and economic impetus of supporting our tourism industry. Discovering – or re-discovering – what our country has to offer is not without considerable pleasures. After all, South Africa is not a major global tourism destination for no reason. The Mother City sits at the pinnacle of this offering, with a global gourmet scene, award-winning wine estates and an iconic mountain that is one of the Natural Wonders of The World. And until international leisure travelers may return to the fairest of Capes, we have its splendour all to ourselves… Cape Town is not just a beacon for anyone outside of the Western Cape. Capetonians themselves have been known to “staycation” and live it up in the city. There’s a wealth of attractions and characterful areas. One such is the renowned Constantia region, set against the densely forested eastern sides of the Table Mountain range and sloping down into a valley [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now that South Africans are legally able to possess and cultivate cannabis for personal use, there’s a growing demand for high-quality products and advice. KushKush (www.kushkushonline.com) is just the place to find all this – and more! The recently launched female-focused online platform, which is owned and managed by women, for women, has something for everyone, from regular recreational or medicinal users to the canna-curious who merely want to be informed. As a holistic channel, KushKush’s aim is to empower women in the areas of health, wellness, beauty, nutrition, exercise, fashion, sex and business. It is Africa’s first cannabis platform that is oriented toward a female consumer. The platform was started to cater specifically to this burgeoning sector of the market. Before launching, KushKush conducted a research survey, which shows that most female consumers use cannabis products for relaxation, stress release and better sleep, but they would also love to find out more about how this miracle plant can be used for skincare, mental health and wellness, and enhanced creativity. These insights guide the KushKush offering. This includes anything from stylish apparel and accoutrements, to medicinally oriented journals, to recipe books and intimacy oils – all of which are linked [...]]]></description>
