Missibaba & Kirsten Goss

Cape Town


Two fashion businesses share premises here: Missibaba, the brand of Capetonian designer Chloe Townsend, who hand-makes colourful bags, belts and other accessories, some with craft input from the townships; and jeweller Kirsten Goss (www.kirstengoss.com), who takes inspiration from South Africa for her gold-plated sterling-silver pieces.
