Maison Mara, located at 5 Jarvis Street, De Waterkant, is Cape Town’s premier concept boutique, blending high-end fashion, beauty and design within a three-story heritage building designed by founder Kelly Mara Withey with interiors by Robert Sherwood.

🧥 Curation & Offerings

  • Hosts an edited selection of 20+ international designer labels—like Balenciaga, Comme des Garçons, A.P.C., Ganni, Veja, Malin+Goetz—alongside South African labels such as Okapi and luxury accessories.
  • Also features lifestyle items including boutique candles, skincare, ceramics, magazines and homeware—each piece thoughtfully chosen to reflect a refined aesthetic and effortless layering of style.

🎨 Atmosphere & Design

  • The boutique interior is a visual feast: refined wooden floors, Gaudí-inspired staircase, curated lighting and a marble-clad bathroom converted into a skincare showroom—all forming a retail-meets-gallery experience.
  • Each area blends minimalism with artful display, engaging visitors in a tactile, sensory shopping environment that feels special and authentic.

🛍️ Shopping Experience

  • Open Tuesday to Friday 10:00–17:00, and Saturday 10:00–16:00, with knowledgeable staff offering personalized styling and an intimate, appointment-based retail visit when required.
  • Despite its exclusivity, the boutique has earned strong local reputation—though some reviewers on Hellopeter note mixed experiences with service lines, likely due to staffing demands during busy times.

✅ Why It’s Worth a Visit

  • For fashion enthusiasts: Rare opportunity to shop global creations alongside SA brands in a luxurious urban setting.
  • Design aficionados: A creative destination where retail, interiors, architecture and hospitality merge.
  • Gift hunters: Curated objects and limited-edition beauty/home goods make perfect refined takaways.
  • Tourists & locals alike: Offers a unique boutique locale in De Waterkant—a neighbourhood celebrated for its inclusivity and creative energy.
