A Half-Year Review of Capegypsy Lifestyle Brand: A Journey of Sustainability and Online Growth.

Read this week's blog to find out more about the Capegypsy journey to date, what's to come and our commitment to provide a sustainable online shopping experience.


Hello there, Fellow Wanderers,


Capegypsy model on the beach with boho jewellery.

This week’s blog post focuses on what an incredible journey the past six months have been for Capegypsy, my lifestyle brand committed to promoting sustainability and conscious living. Significant strides have been made in various aspects, from expanding the online shop and developing new collections to creating impactful content that raises awareness about important environmental issues. Moreover, my involvement in ExpoMetro has further solidified my commitment to make a positive impact globally through my photographic work.



One of the major milestones accomplished during this half-year was the expansion of the online shop. We focused on enhancing the user experience, streamlining the purchasing process, and ensuring that customers have easy access to all sustainable products. New features were added like detailed product descriptions, customer reviews, and a seamless checkout system. Through these improvements, we aimed to provide a convenient and enjoyable shopping experience while reinforcing our commitment to sustainability. As Capegypsy continues to grow and stretch its wings, we will continue to ensure that our ethos is carefully maintained and that our valued customers and stockists receive a tailored, sustainable experience.


In line with the Capegypsy mission to promote conscious consumerism, significant effort was dedicated to developing new collections and products that align with our values. Each design is tirelessly worked on to create innovative and sustainable pieces, incorporating eco-friendly materials and sustainable production processes. From organic cotton clothing to cruelty-free accessories, every item was carefully curated to minimize environmental impact without compromising on style or quality. Capegypsy is proud to have expanded the range and offer more sustainable options to our customers. They will be bursting onto the store in exciting surprises.


Here's a sneak peek of what's to come:

This collection has been a true passion project for me in design and sourcing, crafting the Delicate Silver Collection - an exquisite line of jewellery that celebrates elegance and sustainability.

With a blend of modern aesthetics and timeless charm, the Delicate Silver Collection is set to captivate hearts and spark conversations about the importance of responsible sourcing in the fashion industry.
