Exclusively stocking design produced in Africa, Merchants on Long is very high on my list for when I eventually visit Cape Town. It’s really exciting to see how the brand has expanded to now include…
Merchants Shebeen
An African cocktail and quarts bar (don’t you just love the photography and styling of these cocktails? They sound delicious too).
Merchants Online
Helping us to access from afar, a selection of the great design they stock. Including: bags, art, shoes, clothing, children’s items, homeward, accessories and stationery. Looking forward to more!
The Merchants blog
A recommended destination for all things African art and fashion.
