RAGS It is no secret that thrift is the new black. If you are into thrifting, yet weary of the sometimes limited options in Namibia, you will be happy to know that RAGS exists. With consistent stock drops on their Instagram profile, you might find yourself setting timers for when the next lot of curated, upcycled and ridiculously cute items are posted. RAGS sells out in a flash, which is part of the fun, and the bidding items (which require you to make an offer in the comments) are always a tug of war between the coolest thrifters on the block. @rags.collection

BIRKE DEDIG Art that truly makes your soul move is hard to come by. Oftentimes, abstract art has the ability to capture your mind’s eye and without knowing how or why, speaks to you in a language only you thought you understood. Birke Dedig is a self-taught Namibian artist specialising in depicting raw emotion on canvas. She does not merely paint things, she paints feelings and experiences in interpretive colours and textures. Birke’s colour palette includes brilliant blues and deep earthy reds, complemented by striking pops of yellow hues. Her process involves expressing nuanced emotions through shapes, colour and texture until a state of utter tranquillity is achieved, it is then that she knows the artwork is complete. Birke sells her magnificent paintings via Instagram, where you can view her catalogue as well as contact her for commissioned pieces that will make a truly unique addition to your home or office space. @a.r.t_online
