A round-up of our style finds from earlier this week…

Kirsten-Goss

HANGING OUT WITH PAC-MAN AND KIRSTEN GOSS
Kirsten Goss is a South African jewellery designer who has enjoyed much success in merry old London. Her work is instantly recognisable to Capetonians in the style set for its organic lines, bold African references and experimental forms and textures.
We’re loving the new range of charm necklaces in her online store, like this 8 ct gold vermeil chain necklace with its Pac-Man charm: perfectly quirky yet sophisticated.
Cost R625

Joan Shaer

LIGHTEN UP WITH JOAN SHAER
Influenced by her background in clothing design and cake decorating, Joan Shaer‘s porcelainware is detailed, delicate and feminine. She creates her beautiful pieces in Constantia, Cape Town.
We think these porcelain tea-light shades will look beautiful on a balcony or atop a table for an alfresco dinner.
Cost R280

Mingo-Lamberti-T

GET SHIRTY WITH MINGO LAMBERTI
Mingo Lamberti, named after founder Brad Hodgskiss’ grandfather, was originally a limited-edition T-shirt designing company that has grown to include scatter cushions and other textile designs.
Creative originality is important to them, thus they change designers with each line. The trojan shirt is the final result of just such a collaboration, and goes to show how teamwork and creativity are a winning combination.
