The District Six Store- A piece of South Africa in Berlin


The most heartwarming comments received on the opening night of the new District Six Store in Kreuzberg is its on point resemblance and atmosphere of Cape Town and South Africa. Nestled next to the ever popular Anna Durkess Ice Cream store, Number 80 Graefe Strasse has become a bold, colorful and vibrant space of which Caroline, the owner of The District Six Store and my dear friend and colleague couldn't be prouder of. Not a day goes by where stories of passerby's share their experience in South Africa, inquire about the great African playlist blurring in the background, and remark on the beautifully curated products and put together space the store has. 

Only the best of South African Design has found i'ts way to the store  some of which include Pichulik, Klomp Ceramics, Lauren Fowler prints and illustrations , and Heather Moore's ever popular Skinny Laminx.

Having a small part of South Africa in Berlin is truly something  unique, and The District Six Store is always eager to see new face and a different story with each person that comes and goes.

Their opening hours are from Tuesday to Friday from 11 - 19:00 and on a Saturday from 11- 17:00. 
Their online shop is always an alternative to late night shopping for those who can't make the shop hours or who simply aren't anywhere near South Africa or Berlin

Back to Berlin


After two glorious weeks back in my home country of South Africa, the time has come for me to return back "home". What an incredible experience it's been coming back here with a fresh set of eyes and a whole new perspective of the world. I met some incredible people during my time here, and also re-kindled old friendships that felt like I had seen just yesterday. I can't wait to share all the photography and video shots I took with the rest of Berlin, and further intrigue everyone about my Beautiful South Africa
