As we find our way around Cape Town in the hope of covering everything we find ourselves being denied photo’s of many things. Cubana was the first bizarre “Access denied” photo opportunity. Today I thought I would take a little cruise through to Sable Square with Charlie V.
Sable Square finds itself situated just past the ever popular and ever huge Canal Walk shopping centre. When I first heard a mention of this centre I thought it was going to be like Access Park in Kenilworth. I HATE access park. Everything you find there seems to be a reject of sorts. I tried on some jeans at Levi’s the other day and a button was missing and the pockets seemed to be so small that I could not fit my hand into them. Very strange. And you always need to check clothes there to see that there are no defects with them.
Sable Square solves this problem by offering you a top quality shopping centre, with no rejects. Everything there is just older stock, at vastly reduced prices. I was looking at Levi’s jeans today for R200. Granted, all the guys sizes were a 28, which is quite small. However, at a shop just down from Levi’s, of which I forget the name, they are selling loads of size 32 mens Diesel jeans for R745. Quite decent prices, if you want to live a life of excess, on a budget.
Sunglass Warehouse is definitely the ticket though! Sunglasses by the likes of Gucci, Armani and Diesel can be found there. They are found between 30% and 70% cheaper than normal retail prices. Fantastic! I even found a pair of Roy Orbison style Ray Bans, if you want to look like Roy that is. There were also some of the classic Ray Ban Aviators, for the many flying expeditions we do.
I was busy taking a photo of the centre, when security approached me and said I’m not allowed to take photos. I know this is a rule in all shopping centres and I suppose I can’t really complain. However, I think it could be good publicity for the centre. Anyway, I approached centre management, got their details and I will e-mail them soon to see if we are allowed to take a photo of the centre, legally, for SLXS.
It’s a great centre but it is looking a little sparse at the moment. Not all the shops are open but I think it could do well. It is a top quality centre, and there is a Pick ‘n Pay there and a few reastaurants also find themselves scattered around. I never ate though, instead myself and Charlie V had a nice cold Windhoek beer at Caffe Villagio. Great times.
Now if we could just get a photo of the place, you would be able to gain further insight into what makes this place so special.

I shall be in contact with the upper echelons of management shortly, in the name of fashion.
