This by appointment-only elegant studio Wizards Vintage, owned by Annabelle Desfontaines, is a Joburg institution. Located in a historic Westcliff mansion, the setting alone is worth a visit. Inside you'll find a store that is treasure-filled with gently worn and vintage designer labels. Stocking a wide range of clothing, shoes, accessories and handbags, a visit here is worthy of you booking off a few hours to try on some new looks and get great advice from the on-site experts. Brand names range from Armani and Giuseppe Zanotti to Anya Hindmarch, Alexander McQueen and Marni. Bring a keen eye.

The big clearance sale is open Fri Aug 27 12:00–18:00 and Sat Aug 28 08:30–13:00.
