How ‘SEO’ changed my ‘POV’. You often hear people say; ‘you should do what you love’. But I think the far more important question is: ‘do you do what you do with love?’ After reading my colleagues’ blogs this past weekend, I can unequivocally confirm that every single one of them does. Let’s go back to the beginning. As my fellow marketers will know, our jobs are often the persistent pursuit of content. And sometimes we are not quite content with the level of content that we

and the Crazy Things we think we can do… With Love! I have been a Volunteer with Vintage with Love since the very beginning in Cape Town 10 years ago, and honestly, it feels less like volunteering and more like a way of life now. Somewhere between the mountains of donated clothes, endless steaming sessions, pricing marathons, and last-minute event organizing, VWL quietly stitched itself into my heart forever.

One built around extending the life of clothing and intentionality, the other around faster consumption

There’s a beautifully romantic idea that purpose alone can change the world - but anyone building a purpose-led organisation knows the reality is far more complex. At Vintage with Love, or any NPO that's combining charity and commercial strategy, we sit in a constant balancing act between mission, money and momentum - and the truth is, all three matter immensely. VWL has been founded on the belief that clothes have the power to change the world, and for the past 12 years we

Unlocking Our Most Iconic Vintage Pieces: Every once in a while, a vintage store has to open the vault. Not because the pieces inside have lost their magic. Quite the opposite. Because they deserve to be worn, loved, and lived in. At Vintage With Love , we’ve built a reputation for curating some of the most beautiful vintage clothing, designer resale, and second-hand fashion in Cape Town . Over time, certain pieces become part of our archive. Iconic finds that we’ve held onto

As we close the chapter on another incredible year, our hearts are full, overflowing, really, with gratitude for the remarkable women who stand at the centre of everything we do, our volunteers.

Last week, we took to the valley, nestled among the vineyards and shady trees of Elgin’s very own Cheverells Farm. It was a gathering united by one beautiful purpose: giving.

Thanks to your support, together with Community Assisting Schools (CAS) and other generous partners, H.A. Jack's library was completely restored and revitalised - transforming what was once a neglected space into a vibrant hub for learning, exploration, and growth.
