THE MANOR AND CAPITEC HandmadeAFRICA PARTNER UP TO CELEBRATE AFRICAN CREATIVITY
The Manor is delighted to be the official media partner for Capitec handmadeAFRICA: an experience that aims to showcase the finest pan-African design, meticulously selected for its ethically and sustainably produced craftsmanship. By partnering with much-loved annual events around the country, Capitec handmadeAFRICA brings a super-luxe design dimension to each occasion.
On Friday the 29th and Saturday the 30th of November, visitors will experience over 50 of the continent’s greatest designers in the Capitec handmadeAFRICA travelling boutique alongside food offerings from some of South Africa’s leading fine-dining institutions. The two-day fair offers a curated selection of unique, high-quality handmade collectables from designers working in Accra, Nairobi, Cape Town, Gaborone, Dakar and further afield. Moving from fashion, accessories, home décor, and artisanal goods, visitors will also taste the unexpected as the Oxford Parks restaurants will bring the best of their culinary artistry to the walkways of the Precinct, offering street food versions of their celebrated menus.
While a lineup of DJs, choirs and a free comedy show add a touch of cool to the atmosphere, guests will be able to roll up their festive sleeves for some hands-on workshops. Professional gift-wrapping sessions, cocktail demonstrations, and personal in-store styling consultations will make the holiday season preparations a whole lot of fun. Children won’t be a reason to stay at home either. A kids’ programme will keep them creatively engaged, giving adults the freedom to explore, shop and socialise
