This month saw the launch of a game-changer in local shopping experiences — the ilifa Collective.

Translating to “inheritance” in isiXhosa, the collective is aiming to be SA's one-stop shop for local luxury brands, businesses and experiences.

The ilifa Collective forms part of the Legacy Group which owns a variety of tourist-driven properties in Sandton, including The Leonardo, The Michelangelo and the DaVinci Hotel & Suites. The ilifa Collective pairs local entrepreneurs and their brands with shoppers in the affluent Sandton market — from local residents to the thousands of tourists that stay in the hotels nearby.

With Women's Day being a key celebration this week, here is a look at the top women's shops you will find at the ilifa Collective.
