Be aware They are Not a South African or even Cape Town based shop. They are just fronting and selling cheap TEMU and Hein pruducts from China, but at a massive premium (your package will come from Temu or Shein) You can order exact same items for fraction of the price dirrect on TEMU or SHEIN Don't get fooled

If I could give them 0 stars I would. They selll inferior plastic jewelry from China. The name and email address gives the impression that they are based and sell from SA. Stuff they sell for R500 not worth R3.00 in my opinion. Plastic and sent from China. Took weeks to get to me.

I foolishly didnt google search them before ordering....so didnt realise they are not even based in Cape Town until the order was processed. As per other reviewers, they are based in China. Needless to say i NEVER received my order, although i did get a courier tracking, which has said for last 3 weeks that it is somewhere in Cape Town in some bay...tried contacting the courier company, but not getting any suitable response

Absolutely disingenuous business. Show an AI photo of their shopfront in Cape Town which does not exist. They pay for adverts to draw you in and then sell you products they source from Temu. In my case I paid 8 times as much as the same product from Temu. The shipping is obviously from China so delivery takes several weeks, although you are led to believe the product is in stock in Cape Town. It gets worse! I ordered size 10 shoes and they sent a size 8. When it came to exchanging them, they wanted me to pay R300 for shipping for their mistake. No physical address, no phone number most likely because they are actually in China so National Consumer Commission can't touch them either.
