More than a shop.
Barley's Bloset is a closet, a community and a more conscious way to do fashion. Curated in Observatory, Cape Town.
Where it started
Barley's Bloset began as a closet and grew into a community. A small space with a big idea about how fashion could work.
Vintage and upcycled
We curate secondhand, vintage and reworked pieces. Slow fashion that lasts, and doesn't cost the earth.
Local designers
We stock independent local brands and makers, and put the people behind the clothes front and centre.
Community
Markets, workshops, clothing swaps and Crochet Club. The shop is the start; the community is the point.
Employing youth
We create work, skills and opportunity for young people in our community.
What we stand for
Curated
A tight, considered edit. Every piece earns its place.
Conscious
Vintage, upcycled and made to last.
Local
Independent designers and makers.
