About
Baraka Gifts and Decor will take you on an inspiring journey to a dreamworld filled with an eclectic mix of arts, crafts, jewellery, decor and much more! We also sell vintage and antique items because we believe retro design is still very relevant today. At Baraka you will find a range of handmade leather notebooks and photo albums, hand crochet hats, shell and driftwood spoons, affordable jewellery, out-of-the-box art, quirky once-off pieces, unusual non-curio African goods, Panama hats, handbags, hand-woven Zulu baskets made from recycled telephone wire – and the biggest selection of scarves in Cape Town, to mention but a few. Our vision is to afford you an extraordinary shopping experience at very affordable prices. Baraka's loyal customers refer to the shop as a “treasure trove” and “the little shop with the big heart”. But you have to experience it for yourself!

So glad we ran across this shop--the most original, tasteful, and elegant selection of gifts we encountered and supremely friendly service. Absolutely worth seeking out for perfect South African keepsakes.

Today was my first time in this special store but it will not be my last. I’m visiting from Los Angeles and before I leave for home I will go back to Baraka. I will also make sure to stop by when I return to Cape Town and will tell all my friends. The best service I’ve experienced in the 4 weeks that I’ve been in Cape Town. I bought a range unique finds and items that spoke to me. So many special products to chose from- art prints, beautiful pillow covers, leather bags, jewelry, scarfs, and so, so, so much more.

Since more than 10 years we are frequently travellers to South Africa, the most favorised place is Cap Town.
Baraka is always one of our targets, because we like the kinds of items and souveniers, suitable für friends and familiy as well.
And we like the owners, Gavin and Balti, very much.

I had the most amazing gift service experience ever with Baraka Gifts and Decor!!!! Their staff is the most attentive team I have ever come across and went out of their way to make sure that a birthday gift that I ordered with them was to my complete satisfaction! They went above and beyond what was expected and that I was absolutely happy with the order and that it was to my exact request! Derrick the owner responded to my enquiry almost immediately (on a Sunday evening) and responded to each and every one of my emails. If you're looking for a gift shop/service with a WOW factor then Baraka Gifts and Decor is the one!!! Thanks a mil! Very happy customer!😀

You are looking for some nice souvenirs for friends, family or yourself? The Baraka shop offers various gifts to bring back home all made with lots of love and of course: produced in South Africa.
The Baraka gift shop should even earn an extra star for the lovely people working at the store. So don't hesitate, give the shop a visit & you will see, you won't regret!

I was looking for something that I was sure did not exist and would have to be tailor made for our needs. I almost gave up, but then looked online and at Baraka I found EXACTLY what I needed and not only that, they also went out of their way on a Sunday afternoon to do an engraving on the product! With that done, It was even more exactly what I needed! So I am blown away by the actual product and the service. WOW! Thank you to the Baraka team! Good to know there is such good businesses around still today! 5 star!

As always, Baraka offered an adventure, both uplifting and exciting. - we could have spent hours there!! So much to see, read and experience - old, new, vintage, historical, inspiring and creative art of all mediums, styles and shapes. A vast array of decor will take your breath away. Truly remarkable! A visit to Cape Town will be incomplete if you do not pay Baraka a visit. - Thank you for those vintage posters.... they are framed and will go up Steytlerville Guesthouse-bar shortly. X

Is Baraka Shop within walking distance of V&A Waterfront?
of Greenmarket Square?
Are the prices at Baraka Shop fixed, or can we haggle some more?

yes Baraka is within walking distance.... basically between Greenmarket Square and the V&A Waterfront (15min walk either way). Price are fixed but are very reasonable as it is a shop where locals also buy. As a tourist you can however claim back the 14% vallue added tax which is included in the price. You do that at the custom counter at the airport before you check out. You just need to show them the receipsts and they may ask to see the goods. so remember to keep all uour receipts 😊

Hello,
My husband and I are interested in staying at your hotel for 10 days in July. What city do we fly into?
How do we make reservations?
Thank you!

Hi Reza,
I think you may have meant to send your reservation inquiry to someone else. I visited South Africa last spring and live in the US. I only meant to post a review of a lovely shop (Baraka) I frequented when I was there. I can tell you there are many flats in the neighborhood surrounding Baraka for rental - they're absolutely lovely and reasonably priced. You probably know this but there are also many great hotels in the Waterkant district. Happy travels to you! You picked a great place to visit. Jim
