Originally the location of the
Cape Mohair blanket factory, The Mill Living Centre is a retail
centre developed in order to sustain the livelihoods of many local
weavers and machine technicians.
While retaining the building’s original industrial feel, the old
factory building has been renovated into the Mohair Mill Shop
and Décor - a home for decor, gifts and the biggest selection
of mohair products in the world.
De Lederhandler (fine leather products from local producers) is
also housed in the shop.
There has been enormous growth and the centre is now home to a
number of new projects:

Siya Phambili Beading workshop |

Porcupine Raku ceramics and studio |

Peppermill Restaurant – the best chocolate cake in South
Africa |
