Vilakazi returns to Sandton – this one’s for the market lovers
If ever there was a more important time to support local it is now.
So when we heard Sandton would be hosting an all local market, we just had to share!
The event, dubbed Street Culture Social Market, will be hosted by the iLifa Mall in the Michelangelo Towers and has been designed as a platform for up-and-coming black entrepreneurs to showcase their fashion brands in an original Vilakazi Street style.
“The traditional Sandton shopping experience has been known for its impressive array of international fashion brands but has little to no offering when it comes to authentic South African street fashion,” says Karin Vermeulen, brainchild behind the event and Manager of the iLifa Mall.
The Street Culture Social Market will run in the iLifa Mall from 1 to 24 December 202, from 10am to 6pm daily and will be free for all to attend.
The iLifa Mall forms part of the Legacy Group which owns a variety of tourist-driven properties in Sandton including The Leonardo, The Michelangelo and the DAVINCI Hotels & Suites.
“The pop-up market and future plans for The Legacy Group’s iLifa Mall is an exciting venture into something we believe has great potential within the Sandton market. The space is directly accessible for the tourists staying in our hotels, many of whom are looking for an authentic South African experience without having to travel to get there,” says Robert Hodson, COO of Legacy Hotels & Resorts.
So make sure you pop in this silly season.
