Article: A SEASON OF SHIFTS

A SEASON OF SHIFTS

A SEASON OF SHIFTS

This year has been one of movement.

In April, we left behind our Woodstock workspace and stepped into a new rhythm— one rooted in colour, history, and horizon. Our new studio in Bo-Kaap, tucked inside a heritage building, has become a quiet room for making and imagining.

And beyond the studio, another shift is underway. The Oranjezicht City Farm Market, our long-time weekend home, is being entirely reimagined. Courtyards have become trading lanes. Pergolas are going up. The air feels expectant. A full reopening is set for September 2025 — and with it, a new VERSE experience.

These shifts are more than logistics—they reflect who we’re becoming. Local. South African. Slow by design.
A little more grounded. A little more intentional. Still VERSE.

While the next chapter is building,  you can still find us every weekend at the Oranjezicht Market in our current home. Come visit, choose your next bag, and share in this unfolding season with us.
