Real is Rare

Real is Rare We aim to provide insight into the backstory of local artisans, and their products. Most of the time, the story behind a product goes unnoticed.

Real is Rare was conceptualised by Matthew and myself, we’re two recent UCT grads and lifelong friends. Having grown up in South Africa, we have too often witnessed the struggle of local business owners, in reaching consumers and in simply being able to make ends meet. However, both of us believe in the ‘big power’ of small businesses. With this at the forefront of our minds and hearts, we hope to

rectify some of South Africa’s social and economic challenges. Real is Rare is a part-time venture, but one that both of us are equally and insatiably passionate about. We are directing our passion towards creating a website and social media platform through which local vendors can be catapulted into the view of those who would love to support their businesses be inspired by their stories.

Part 2:
Pursuing a life in corporate, Sally followed her inner-voice to enter her company’s competition to win one of three cameras. After winning, she took a leap of faith by leaving her job at the company in which she worked, in order to work for an aerial photographer. Here, she learnt the basics of running a business centring on photography which allowed her to forge her own path to become a professional photographer. It has been 10 years since Sally Wellbeloved- an interior and architectural photographic business, came into being.

Hi everyone :) please check out our first featured post on a local dressmaker, Taryn from Taryn's Closet, She has a really great story behind her business and passion for dressmaking.

We have two more parts to this story that will be released within the next two weeks, so please follow our fb page to stay in-touch
https://www.facebook.com/hardworkerco

Part 1:
At the age of 8 years old, the hopes and dreams of pursuing a certain career choice, are often endless. Children at that age are discovering and experimenting with various talents and hobbies. This was the age when Taryn taught herself how to sew.

The possibilities for her career choice were not entirely known to her at the time. However, it seems to be that through making her own clothing and having fashion shows with her little cousins, her main hope and dream developed into becoming a seamstress. And she did just that. She turned her hobby and love for clothing into her job

The water shortage we find ourselves in can often feel overwhelming. You may feel a profound sense of despair. "What can I do to change anything, it's inevitable." Maybe you feel insignificant in it all, like one tiny drop in an ocean of people.

However, it's the individual that can make an impact that spreads into their community and helps uplift the greater whole. By coming up with an inventive solution that helps to solve our crisis, people with big hearts and even bigger ideas are an important factor in regaining what we have lost.

Real is Rare wants to promote water saving initiatives that people may not know about. If you know of a person, or small business, with a water saving solution, contact us! We would love to spread the word.

In the end, each drop, each person, isn't as insignificant as we may believe.
