点评:We saved visiting this wondrous crafts + gifts "shed" until.towards the end of our 8-day stay in Cape Town, to have something "new" to visit at the V&A Waterfront area before leaving.
Better than any similar place we've been to before, anywhere. A trove of crafters, artists, jewellry, fashion, small companies of all things art, a sprinkling of quality souvenirs, a couple of indie cafes and so much more.
Every stallholder was keen to really help us make purchases, tell the products' stories, and their own stories too. With no pressure to buy.
Boy. We loved it here. My purchases included a gorgeous, vibrant leather handbag for my wife, homewares for my son - and bonkers-coloured shirt and beach shorts for me. Coming from the UK, with a relatively strong pond, there was good-value to be had at every turn.
Everything's on one level, no steps, well-lit, spacious. So, easy access for all.
There's even a guitar shop selling oil can-bodied guitars yey. And they sounded great!
Loved it here. A huge "well-done" to the friendly, talented stall-holders, and whoever is running this superb attraction/shopping area in this stunning city.
翻译:我们特意把参观这家奇妙的手工艺品和礼品“棚屋”安排在开普敦八天行程的尾声,想在离开V&A海滨区之前,体验一些“新鲜事物”。
这里比我们之前去过的任何类似地方都好。这里汇聚了众多手工艺人、艺术家、珠宝商、时装店、各种艺术小公司,还有一些精致的纪念品、几家独立咖啡馆等等。
每个摊主都热情地帮助我们选购,讲述产品背后的故事,以及他们自己的故事。而且完全没有购买压力。
哇!我们太喜欢这里了。我给妻子买了一个漂亮又色彩鲜艳的皮包,给儿子买了些家居用品,还给自己买了一件颜色鲜艳的衬衫和沙滩短裤。我们来自英国,那里物价相对较高,所以在这里几乎处处都能找到物美价廉的商品。
所有店铺都在同一层,没有台阶,光线充足,空间宽敞。所以,每个人都能轻松进出。
这里甚至还有一家吉他店卖油罐琴身的吉他,太棒了!而且音色超赞!
我太喜欢这里了。要特别感谢那些热情友善、才华横溢的摊主们,以及所有在这座迷人的城市里打造出如此精彩的景点/购物区的经营者们。
