There are just two days to go before “The Nature of Luxury” – the fifth Condé Nast International Luxury Conference in Cape Town.
While adding the final touches to the event, Suzy visited one of her Conference speakers: Hanneli Rupert, the founder and Creative Director of African luxury goods brand, Okapi, and of the Cape Town boutique, Merchants on Long – one of the first concept stores in Africa.
