KAROO TRADE ROUTE

 

 

South African Shops Selling Karoo Keepsakes

 

 

Note from the authors, Chris Marais and Julienne du Toit:

 

"Dear Readers,

 

"We've spent the last few months travelling through the Karoo, setting up a distribution route consisting of outlets that share our philosophy of work, creativity and seizing the moment. 

 

"Just driving around in the dusty bakkie, 'smousing' like the Karoo traders of old, has been a huge adventure. The shops, guest farms and lodges selling Karoo Keepsakes are mostly special hotspots in the southern tourism hubs of South Africa. We encourage you to drop in at any of them and, if you haven't purchased the book through this site, ask to see Karoo Keepsakes. Then wander around the outlet and you'll see why we chose this special place to carry a very special book.

 

"Enjoy the book - and the place you bought it from."
