Treasure trove

Olive Green Cat has a beautiful new showroom, including an on-site design studio, in the heart of Cape Town’s creative hub.

Now in Church Street, the shop is flanked by antique and local design stores. The space showcases a large selection of contemporary pieces by Ida Elsje, Philppa Green and Situ Diamond Jewellery – an innovative collaboration with acclaimed architect Gregory Katz.

Luminous yellow gates welcome visitors into the shop, where one can view the collections and see how the jewellery is made. Be on the lookout for Ida Elsje’s signature earrings, Philippa Green’s Perspex cuffs and Situ’s beautiful engagement rings.
