After more than 20 years as a retail buyer, founder Tessa followed her heart and started something of her own. In 2018, she opened a small gift shop from her guesthouse, showcasing beautiful locally made products. A Constantia Village pop-up followed, and in 2019 Little House Boutique found its first permanent home. A year later, a second store opened at Cavendish Square.

Today, Little House is a celebration of South African creativity, thoughtful gifting and everyday style, bringing together handpicked clothing, jewellery, accessories, homeware, art and gifts.

At its heart is Tessa’s love of beautiful spaces, great service and supporting local makers.
