My Bling was established in February 2022
Welcome to My Bling Store
Founders Helga Smith and Gabriel Marx began their journey with My Bling in March 2021. It was a dream that started in a small restaurant in Cape Town when going to ride the Cape Argus. Gabriel has an eye for beauty, quality, and perfection. We travelled by car and stopped in all the small towns where we saw the local talent and South-African handmade goods. This inspired us to start our own brand of quality proudly South-African handmade leather goods ranging from shoes, handbags, wallets and more. Our range of French Body Butter is a must not to mention our range of Symbol on Silk jewellery. Our unique jump suits and dresses make heads turn and are on high demand for ladies of all shapes and sizes. We are growing our brand with new products and ideas daily.
