Peter's House

Finally after much deliberations and just never getting around to it I visited Peters House. Its at 14 Kloof Nek Rd, Cape Town if you want to experience it yourself and better yet if you want to take me out for a bite :)

First things first I love the deco of this place. It's not pretentious and just not overly trying to be what it is. What it is to me is a chilled little place with character filled with little interesting things and a chilled vibe and good food. I noticed something new and different the whole time and I bet you next time I go I will notice something new.

It's a place where the little details count. The little details being presentation of the food and my cute little biscuit with my coffee.  More importantly the food is fresh and tastes pretty good. If you are part of the "we don't Instagram our food click" you will surly find yourself being tempted to. 

 

If you will be looking for a menu, don't even bother. The menus are on the walks which I really like. Details people, details. 

I couldn't stop looking the cutlery light fixture. I am totally obsessed with it and really wouldn't mind one when I get my first home. It's a stylish talking peace and  just hella interesting. 

Yip! That's me taking a selfie in the bathroom. I will totally be back at this place soon. I can see it being my thing now.  I cant wait to go back and better yet sit outside and watch the beautiful people while I have a cup or a glass of something.

To the boys who will ever date my daughter

 

This is beautiful. A man and the love he has for he's daughter.   

 

"I have been teaching her love all of her life, and all that I ask is that you continue the lesson"

A chance to be great

I had decided to have a catch up with one of the guys from GentleGiant* as its been a while since the last interview. I also wanted to see what the brand has been up to and how they are planning to change the world.

 

Q:How has the brand been since our last chat?

A:-The reception has been both amazing and scary. The demand has far outweighed our supply. This is because we are a fair trade brand it takes longer to produce and we are a small company



Yes GentleGiant* was in Yale

Q: Has this been a learning curb  for you guys ?
 

A: Yep. We've had to adjust our theories of change along the way. 

Q: Was adjust the theories hard in anyway and what was the one thing that was not gonna change regardless

 

A: It wasn't  really. All social ventures go through it and it'll continue to evolve with the ecosystem, time and context

Q: What have been the highs since the last chat?

A: I think the reaction the product and brand got from both Americans and Africans alike, we've received so many orders outside our boarders it's quite scary and again, exciting.

Q: What's the next step? With the momentum still high?
 

B: The campaign behind creating new GentleGiant*s that will lead their communities
 

Q: Do elaborate

A: So we are looking to sell more of our products so we can support the learning in at-risk areas and an inclusion of entrepreneurship in syllabus.

We've got a new campaign launching this week #GOTS and you all gotta keep an eye on our facebook page GentleGiant and gentlegiantsa.com for more info. No cat out of the bag yet.

Q: The meaning behind #GOTS at least.

A: -Township young men and women deserve a chance to be great.

-Whoever can guess what #GOTS stands for will win a prize. So make your way to the GentleGiant* Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=778803892164549
 

 

Q: Will it only be launched on Facebook? Or do you guys have other platforms?

A: -Through our website. YouTube channel. Twitter. And with time our ambassadors will be on mainstream media.

-We will also unveiling our awesome ambassadors in the weeks to come

Q: Disco Stay Jacket is totally behind the brand and cant wait to see big things happen as well as the launch. Any last words before we wrap this up?

A: - With the rise of social enterprises all over, I think one thing I'd like to emphasize about gentlegiant* is our commitment you serving our nation, we realize many leaders tend to get side tracked by all the awards and personal attention on social networks, at genteleGiant* we accept its not about an individual, its also not about us, whatever need people feel we need to fulfil that is what we are here for. For all the gentle souls, humble artists heads. This one is for you.
