WORDS Michaela Stehr
VISI is teaming up with local designers to create a range of stylish and exclusive products for you and your home. Here are some of our favourites, all of which are currently available through the VISI shop.
Concrete Studio & Skinny laMinx Coasters
Playing and having fun creating patterns has always been at the heart of Heather Moore’s Skinny laMinx brand. “After spotting the patterns I generated during my #100daysofpattern challenge last year, Charmaine Nolte of Concrete Studio approached me about producing a range of concrete tile designs,” says Heather. And so a collaboration between the two brands formed and a range of fun tiles was launched.
Fast forward a few months and the idea behind the tile range was transferred to coasters. Our limited edition concrete coasters come in four different patterns and add a pop of colour to any table.

3. Freyá Hats ‘Avery Bucket Hat’
Inspired by the original bucket hat, the limited edition Avery Bucket Hat in “Sicilian Summer” from Freyá Hats is a timeless unisex sun hat. These special VISI hats are made from 100% cotton and the fabric is scientifically tested in South Africa to ensure UPF 50+ protection (essential for those lazy days on the beach).

4. Rekindle Co. Scented Candles
We do LOVE at scented candle! They make ideal gifts and elevate any space. We recently teamed up with the Rekindle Co. to create a limited edition VISI Rekindle Co. Candle inspired by the Tsitsikamma (available in two sizes).
Notes of rosewood, patchouli and eucalyptus represent the ancient green canopies that shade the forest floor in dappled light.

African Jacquard Flamboyant Wraps
These new vibrant African Jacquard Flamboyant Wraps are named after and inspired by the magnificent red Flamboyant Tree. Christine, the founder of African Jacquard, first laid eyes on the Flamboyant Tree many years ago when she lived in Gabon and was enchanted by its rich red.
Featuring a range of bold hues and woven with 100% African cotton, these versatile large wraps are perfect for year-round wear; whether you’re layering up in winter or shielding yourself from the sun in summer. The ultimate luxe local gift!
