Small businesses without advertising budgets and a place on the grocery shelves struggle to survive in the age of convenience. But if we know where to find them, we can use our money to support better practices &#8211; and get lovely, higher-quality products in exchange.<\/p>\n<p>This post has some crossover with our <a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/tips\/sustainable-brands-to-support\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sustainable brands in Cape Town post<\/a>, but here we\u2019re focusing more on local over sustainable!<\/p>\n<p><em>Disclaimer: None of these brands are affiliates, and I won\u2019t at any point accept money to include anything on this list \u2013 but I\u2019d love to add great entrepreneurs I didn\u2019t know about, so leave me a comment if I\u2019ve missed any!<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Buying local<\/h2>\n<p>Until very recently, buying local was the only way people bought. But with all the convenience of global trade routes etc. we&#8217;ve seen a big decline in support for local craftsmen and entrepreneurs. But South Africans are fantastic entrepreneurs, and we still have a wealth of small local businesses providing world-class products and services.<\/p>\n<p>So, rather than buying the international beers you know, try a local brew. Rather than staying at international hotels, look out for hotels unique to this city, or a hostel or Airbnb home. Rather than buying souvenirs made in China, buy the little crafts and paintings that locals make and sell from small stalls. Not only are you supporting people who are putting effort into their craft and making a way for themselves, you&#8217;re also not supporting bad labour practices and mass production.<\/p>\n<p>Purchasing power is real, and supporting small businesses is one of the best things about having money to spend. We don&#8217;t have to go out of our way and buy things we don&#8217;t need in order to do it. We can just shift our habits &#8211; buy local, sustainable, and small.<\/p>\n<h2>Where to find local brands in Cape Town<\/h2>\n<p>Many of the small businesses listed below can only be found online, but there are many more entrepreneurs besides! Exploring Cape Town&#8217;s markets are one of our most popular activities, and it&#8217;s here that you can find many small local businesses. And increasingly, they can also be found at small co-operatives and stores.<\/p>\n<h3>Cape Town markets<\/h3>\n<p>Markets are some of the best places to find local entrepreneurs! And a morning at the market is always great fun. One thing to note, though, is that they can be pretty pricey, as they\u2019re often catering to a richer crowd.<\/p>\n<h4>Oranjezicht Market<\/h4>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1403\" src=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/oranjezicht-market1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"546\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/oranjezicht-market1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/oranjezicht-market1-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/oranjezicht-market1-768x524.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Oranjezicht Market is actually at the Waterfront &#8211; it moved after getting too popular! Here you can find a bunch of terrific foods, produce, clothing and crafts. Their flower stall has the most beautiful bouquets I\u2019ve ever seen, and the mushroom <em>sosaties<\/em> are my absolute top recommendation.<\/p>\n<p>This market has plenty of place to sit in the shade, and so many food and dessert options that you&#8217;ll be hard-pressed to choose. It&#8217;s a lovely place to spend a few hours with friends, and I find that a beautiful long walk to <a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/neighbourhood-guide\/sea-point\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sea Point<\/a> along the coast is the perfect closer!<\/p>\n<h4>Bay Harbour Market<\/h4>\n<p>This Hout Bay market is my favourite (but I\u2019m biased, because I used to work here on weekends). They usually have live music playing, and you can find pretty much anything you\u2019re looking for. Their market stalls include clothing, crafts, jewellery, and art. They also have a fantastic food section, with a broad selection of tasty options, and local brews to match.<\/p>\n<h4>Greenmarket Square<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1163\" src=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/cape-town-market.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/cape-town-market.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/cape-town-market-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/cape-town-market-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Photo courtesy of Sharon Ang<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Greenmarket Square is a historical space built in 1696. Many of the stalls here aren\u2019t selling locally made goods, but many others are, so it\u2019s well worth a look. You\u2019ll find souvenirs, crafts and Cape Malay street food, all sold not by brands but by individuals. Just be aware of pickpockets, as it\u2019s a central, open market.<\/p>\n<h4>The Neighbourgoods Market<\/h4>\n<p>This Woodstock market has long since been one of the trendiest creative spaces in the city. It\u2019s super vibrant, and the bulk of the market is housed in an old mill, making it quite unique. You\u2019ll walk away with some very cool treasures after a few hours of great food, beautiful music, and a real internal struggle to not buy everything.<\/p>\n<h3>Fabricate, Gardens<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1154\" src=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/fabricate.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/fabricate.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/fabricate-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/fabricate-768x486.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fabricatecapetown.co.za\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fabricate<\/a> is a lovely little shop in Gardens Shopping Centre focusing on South African crafts and creations. From unique earrings and funky socks to prints of everyday scenes in Cape Town, you can find some really beautiful things here. Perfect for gifts, for yourself or others! A few of the small brands we mention below can be found here, including Featsockco. and Aurora Home.<\/p>\n<h3>Sparrow Society, Muizenberg<\/h3>\n<p>The Muizenberg-based <a href=\"https:\/\/sparrowsociety.co.za\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sparrow Society<\/a> is an entrepreneur collective and NGO driven by women\u2019s economic empowerment. They provide a space where female entrepreneurs can sell their wares. But much more than this, they work with women on practical skills development and job creation. So they&#8217;re just a wonderful group to support if you&#8217;re ever in Muizenberg.<\/p>\n<h3>Ground Culture, Observatory<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1161\" src=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ground-culture1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"502\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ground-culture1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ground-culture1-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ground-culture1-768x482.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/groundculture.co.za\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ground Culture<\/a> is a collective of local businesses with a focus primarily on drinks and dry foods in the lovely <a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/neighbourhood-guide\/observatory\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Observatory neighbourhood<\/a>. All of their packaging is 100% biodegradable, which is wonderful, and 10% of their profits are reinvested into the entrepreneurs they work with! The spot is also a great coffee shop where you can spend a few hours working remotely, or just have a coffee with friends.<\/p>\n<h2>Cape Town entrepreneurs and brands<\/h2>\n<p>Cape Town is a city of entrepreneurs! We have so many fantastically creative people finding gaps in the market and coming up with ideas to fill them. As well as the old classics that are simply best when homemade, like baked goods.<\/p>\n<p>This is a very much non-exhaustive list of Cape Town\u2019s small entrepreneurs. If you know anyone whose products should be added here and who has an online presence, send me a message!<\/p>\n<h3>Cakes Hannah Bakes | Baker<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for creative birthday cakes for any age, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/cakes_hannah_bakes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hannah<\/a> is your go-to home baker.
