Local designer shopping hotspots - clothing

Unlike Cap Town, Joburg doesn’t as have many local designer emporiums or local designer shops though it’s growing slowly. There’s the new Mememe and Two shop which have just opened in Parkhurst,There's The Wardrobe, Egality, Kluk and Strangelove in Parkhurst as well as Just, Lunar and Tiaan Nagel at 44 Stanley,  Black Coffee and Love Jozi at their stores in Melville and Arts on Main, Suzaan Heyns and Superella in Melville and Twenty Two and David Tlale at 70 on Juta, not forgetting Burgundy Fly at Soweto’s Maponya Mall.  At Mememe, we are planning to turn the space into a female centred event space at the back, where we host various events that are based on speaking to different female communities.  Small boutiquesThese are the other places that people try to shop at that are not in one of Joburg’s many malls – although mall culture still dominates here although there's been a growing interest in people wanting a different, almost more specialised shopping experience.  The people that have been supporting Joburg's local boutiques do so because they love the niche factor of the clothing, that it's local and unfortunately, many women don't like to tell their friends where they shop because they don't want to share the spotlight - I have recently discovered this as a shop owner.
