Episode 02 of The Local Edit Roundtable is here - and this one is for the women who build.

What does it really take to build a business as a woman, while carrying the many roles, expectations and pressures that come with it? We sat down with five female founders who answered that question with rare honesty.

Joined by Crystal Birch of Ĉ®¥$✝︎@ℓ ß!®C #, Nicole Sherwin of Eco Diva Natural, and Lei Lester of Ayris - Customizable furniture | Cape Town, we talk about ambition, resilience, burnout, cash flow, creativity and what success actually looks like when you stop chasing someone else’s version of it.

These are the women shaping South African business on their own terms. Their stories are as real as they are inspiring.

Winter asks something different of you every day. Sometimes it’s a slow morning with tea and a journal. Other days it’s movement, fresh air and a little extra energy.

Our Winter Wellness Edit makes space for both. From mindful movement and athleisure to teas, coffees, candles, bath essentials, collagen, protein and sleep-supporting hot chocolate, you’ll find everything you need to embrace the season your way.

All locally made, all in one place. Because wellness looks different for everyone, and shopping local should be just as easy.

Five years ago, The Local Edit was created with one simple vision: to bring local creativity together in one beautifully curated, easy-to-shop destination.

Together, we’ve supported over 400 brands and, in turn, countless South African families, makers and dreamers.

We’ve been reflecting on just how much that means, and on the incredible community that has made it all possible.

This September, we’re celebrating the people who have chosen local with us.

We’ll be surprising some of our most loyal supporters throughout our birthday month.

We can’t wait to share more with you soon.

Local often isn’t the cheapest option - and that’s not a flaw, it’s the point. Small batch. Real materials. Real skill. Take mohair: every fibre can be traced back to the exact flock it came from. That traceability is what you’re actually paying for.
