Two forward thinking Cape Town entrepreneurs, Paul Simon and Arie Fabian, hit the nail on the head in preempting this new development in retail and in late 2020 opened We Are Egg, a concept store that unashamedly celebrates South Africa’s extraordinary set of cutting-edge creators, makers and artisans. In this intimate, organic and collaborative cocoon the lines between traditional in-store and online retail are surreptitiously blurred as the shopper gets an intimate glimpse of what lies behind every showcased story.

Serial entrepreneur Paul Simon and business partner Arie Fabian are the masterminds behind this revolutionary concept.

Under one roof over 250 utterly covetable brands compete for the attention – from a piercing salon, flower studio and an all-singing-and-dancing food court to cutting edge fashion, textiles, home and beauty offerings are invitingly dotted throughout this alluring, vibrant hub. You can even get your limited edition sneakers or flat cap customized – tattooed, painted, studded or printed no less – while you wait for your nails to dry.
