Streetside stalls on Vilakazi Street sell beadwork, struggle-era T-shirts and other crafts, so compare a few before you buy and ask who made each piece. At the top of the street, The Box Shop is a building made from shipping containers, with local fashion labels, skincare and accessories. Kofi, on its second floor, has a terrace over the street for a break between stalls.
