Tres Nagual in Gardens: Artisanal Perfume, Style, and Homeware Made in Cape Town

Tres Nagual is a new light-filled and independent pop-up store set in the lively streets of Gardens. Here you’ll find artisanal perfumery (where every scent is made with all-natural ingredients), conscious fashion, jewellery, textiles, and a beautiful collection of design-forward homeware. This collaborative environment features different creatives in an atmospheric and charismatic space that holds a zen-like softness.

“The shop invites a sense of serenity into its visitors; we have brought our perceptions of life and creation to the city landscape through a curated display that dances with values of simplicity, discovery and minimalism,” explains Tres Nagual co-founder, David Plenderleith. “Finding inspiration and momentum in the surrounding busy streets and busy feet, the motions of the world move by as we observe, ponder and play, ignited by the thoughts of fresh ideas and vast possibilities.”

The in-store experience at Tres Nagual

The in-store experience and still atmosphere are designed around intentional interaction and presence. Visitors are encouraged to take time to discover all of the beautifully handcrafted gifts on offer and display. Feel free to chat with the host and get a better understanding of various labels and their journey.

“Being a feeling-space of sensory exploration, the energy we hold with puts mindfulness at the forefront of our focus,” says David. “It brings us joy to create a shop experience that evokes a sense of calm and curiosity within each visitor, and we are purposeful in creating the opportunity for this.”

“Très echoes the values of something that is of sanctuary; we offer you invitations of awareness, discovery and connection within our shop and within all of its exchanges. May you leave feeling uplifted and inspired.”
