  • Cape Town Shopping Guide
    CAPE TOWN SHOPPING GUIDE Cape Town is a Mecca for African art sourced both locally and from around the rest of Africa. It is important to bear in mind that in addition to African curio shops, shopping in Cape Town is done the same as you would anywhere else in the world. There is a definite combination of first and third worlds in Cape Town. Similarly to other parts of the world, the clothing industry in Cape Town has taken a knock due to cheaper imports – as such, you can easily pick up some bargains if that is what you are looking for. Our shopping guide will provide you with a list of the best loved shopping spots in the Mother City. AFRICA NOVA Shop A5/6, Ground Level, The Watershed, Victoria Wharf Shopping Centre +27 21 408 7600 Africa Nova brings customers the best of African craft, art and design from not only South Africa, but the rest of the continent.
