Hip & Happy

Versatility, wearability and femininity are at the core of Hip & Happy. Originating from the early stages of lockdown, this South African brand hailing from Johannesburg has burgeoned into a fully-fledged online clothing destination and recently spread its wings to Namibia. Hip & Happy’s entire range of adjustable skirts, dresses, tops and trousers with funky florals and pretty pastels in flowy and wrap styles is now available in the Land of the Brave. The magnum opus is undoubtedly an adjustable dungaree, which allows you to look darn cute regardless of fluctuating measurements.

Wonderveld Apothecary

Nature possesses all the ingredients we need for our skin to be at its healthiest and most balanced. That is the vision and philosophy behind Wonderveld Apothecary, a sustainable and ethical skincare line made in small batches with organic ingredients. Perhaps the most groundbreaking item in the range is a broad spectrum SPF30 that creates a physical barrier between your skin and the sun without penetrating and clogging pores. This way you can love the Namibian sun and your skin at the same time.

ZE’RA

Superior craftsmanship and timeless styles set ZE’RA apart from the rest. Their line of leather products ranges from laptop bags and handbags to wallets and luggage tags. Attention to detail and classic styles mean a ZE’RA leather product is forever, and with the added touch of personalising them with laser cut names or designs they make for great gifts too. Our favourite is the messenger bag, with plenty of space for a laptop, notebook and all your other bits and bobs. The finest finishings and sturdy hardware used in ZE’RA products make all the difference.
