A Saturday or Sunday at any one of the very popular markets is home to an extraordinary collection of designers of fashion, shoes, accessories, home wares and food.

This dynamic duo have an eye for all things gorgeous and luxurious for both men and women from local and imported clothing, irresistible locally made leather accessories and jewellery to stunning home-wares and gifts for all occasions.
