The honest price

Designer sofa.
Without the import bill.

An imported designer sofa pays for a sea voyage, a distributor and a showroom lease. Ours pays for foam, fabric and the hands that sew it, here in Cape Town.

The name

Named for
Kalk Bay.

Calce means lime. Kalk Bay took its name from the lime once burned from shells on its shore.

Say it KAHL-chay.
