And when I say everyone, I’m talking about everyone I speak to, and now – officially – you as well! Check out this new company which has turned online shopping for premium products in SA on it’s head.

The benefits of living in an estate in South Africa are plain to see. Apart from the obvious security factor, you also become part of a community which just works. With maintenance, garden and admin teams handling everything from your post to the announcement of people at the gate, you get quite used to things… you know.. WORKING. But online shopping is not something your estate management curates.

That’s where the geniuses at Stately have applied themselves.

In a nutshell:

Available to over 400 estates, Stately.co.za is the first carefully curated online outlet for lifestyle estate residents in South Africa consisting of an online store, a concierge service, a home exchange service, and a premium pre-owned luxury goods authentication service. Stately’s curated online store features the best in local design that reflects the level of discernment, exclusivity and taste already present in your home.

Are you feeling their vibe?

I certainly am.

I took a gander through their site and am seriously considering moving to an estate!

Look at these gems I (read: my wife) found:

Umm, are you actually joking with that item shown above. That’s wallpaper! You got that, right? My goodness, that is cool. It’s like some sort of ancient Japan mixed with the early 80s Cavendish Square tea-room, hybrid.

And that tripod desk lamp? Surely that is just perfect for the Chart Room?

I mean – you must have a Chart Room.

Oh I beg your pardon, don’t you live on an estate?

Shame – I’m so sorry.

For the rest of you who do live in an estate and wonder about how this stuff actually gets to you – listen to this:
