27Boxes – container life

27 Boxes - Melville
I visited 27Boxes during my trip to Joburg last week. This clever retail space set in bohemian Melville is built entirely from shipping containers. I love the indoor – outdoor flow and interesting choice of  independent stores.

There is a great variety of products on offer from clothing, jewellery and decor to a bike shop, book shop, fresh flowers and plenty of foodie shops and eateries. Some favourites were ONEOFEACH for beautiful clutches in African fabrics, Galago for unique customisable sandals and Rae Interiors for lovely decor accessories. Sadly it was Rae Interiors’ last day of trading when I visited but you can keep in touch via facebook.

Stay tuned for more shop highlights tomorrow…
