Tribal Trends

Just of Greenmarket Square I stumbled upon a gorgeous shop called Tribal Trends.  Here is the address: Winchester House, 72-74 Long Street, Cape Town  Tel no +27 21 423 - 8009.

Now that  the details are out of the way and you know where to find it, lets do some swooning... Eugene at Tribal Trends very kindly allowed me to take some photos. Let me say this to you. It is one of the most beautiful shops I have been into in a long time...take a look





All the merchandise is from Africa and much of it from South Africa. Everything has been arranged so beautifully and looking at these images, I am afraid it does not do justice to all the eye candy on offer and I think it calls for another visit to capture more of this lovely space for you.



Needless to say this cushion and shiny red ostrich eggs stopped me dead for a shot. They are gorgeous. I did not think that I could incorporate Africa into my space but these cushions, and for that matter, this entire shop, has changed my mind! I will show you in a minute what is on my list of 'Must haves " from here apart from those shiny red eggs!!





The colours are amazing...as are the artful displays....






And here it is " The Lamp" !!! Feathered lampshade atop a horn!! Flamboyant yet understated elegance and I need it!! Check out the face with helmet bottom left hand corner...lol..






Honestly, this little arrangement above would be perfect in my den adding texture and interest! and have a peek at the Nguni Rug...

 




Stunning, isn't it just! I want to take the whole setting home...The pot with the feathers to the right ~ gorgeous...

 





For Dining in the wild above... and whimsical below..take your pick....







Ugh, me and pots and feathers... lethal combo! I find them totally irresistible...






How about this table setting? " Give me a crocodile sandwich and make it snappy!" comes to mind!
Cool setting! Wonder if the guests gets to take Snappy home?






Love love love!







I bet you have never seen Louis chairs look so vibrant and ethnic. Who would have thought? I adore them and of course need I have to point out the lamps... Gasping in delight at this setting. Note the horn door handle on the left.







Look up close and what a wonderful idea those large beads are for display..





Beautiful ...




Of course, the wall colour is right in my colour palette so I had to capture it....






Feathered scatters....adore them, besides the daybed...





There literally is something for every taste in decor and these are so elegant with tiny detail





Ahh, and here...another of my loves... roosters! um , and of course the lamp...but you saw it, didn't you?






 
Textures...







Me and them feathers... You can see that they captivated me....







So there you have it. I could take home the whole shop ... starting with that lamp...

Gorgeous, isn't it...

Please go for a visit to appreciate it up close... I certainly need another visit with my camera and more time to capture the beauty of African  Art and Tribal Trends.

Thank you to Eugene. See you soon again.
