YOU&I

Art and craft-making in Cape Town serves a community much wider than professional artists—weekend makers, school art projects, therapeutic practice, small businesses, and people learning new skills. YOU&I functions as a gathering point for this varied group, where a parent can pick up supplies for a school holiday project, someone starting jewellery-making can ask basic questions without judgment, and a small business owner can source materials for products they're developing. The store's role extends beyond transaction to connection—a place where creative pursuits feel normalised and accessible rather than exclusive. For a city with Cape Town's maker culture, having a supplies store that serves hobbyists, students, and professionals equally matters to keeping creative practice woven through the fabric of everyday life.
