Melvill and Moon
The company motto of this family business is ‘Laudator Temporis Acti’, which means ‘in praise of an age gone by’. That exactly sums up the look and feel of Melvill and Moon’s products. Take the Catalina (below); a popular canvas bag with interior back to the days of the Empire Flying Boats (London to Cape Town via Cairo and East Africa).

Slingsby Maps
It’s been 50 years since Peter and Maggie Slingsby first started making the finest maps of our country’s remote areas. They walk every path, drive every road and consult with locals who know the area. Their touring and hiking maps are loved for the clear, accurate detail and are extremely useful, whether you’re hitting the trail or tar. R135 – R190, slingsby-maps.myshopify.com
Cadac Skottel
Originating from local farmers using a plough shear over a fire to cook a meal in the bush, the Skottel is the ultimate outdoor-cooking setup (other than a braai, that is). The design has not changed much over the years and it’s still ideal for traditional breakfasts, paellas, stir-fries and boiling water. R1,050 makro.co.za
Eezi-Awn awnings.
In a sunny country like SA, the shade business is a good one to get into – and Eezi-Awn has been around since 1985. The Series 2000 (below) is a retractable awning with adjustable arms and legs, enclosed in an anodized aluminum case, and a spring-loaded roll-up mechanism that makes it easy for two people to open and close.
