Denim extraordinaire

All the way from Sweden, Acne Studios’ pink-tagged denim is the juxtaposition between basics and an exceptional eye for detail. Everyday basics are the building blocks of any wardrobe and deserve just as much attention as tailor-made items. Good denim is worth investing in and the SS22 jacket is your new relaxed, life-long friend. Available at Loading Bay. 

Acne Studios has revived the denim jacket, this time in pink.

Houtlander’s signature Scandi-inspired woodwork is clean, neutral and warm, making you feel safe and warm in your seat. Available at Always Welcome in Kramerville, Johannesburg.

Houtlander’s has produced an armchair that is a classic inspired by Scandinavian style.
