Owning a luxury boutique in the resort town of Plettenberg Bay is a dream come true for owner Shinel Crerar. Happily grounded here with her two beautiful children, partner and dogs, the natural beauty of her home is a strong influence in the way she sources brands and connects to her clients. The effortless, everyday essentials that she curates are easy to wear and perfect for a lazy lunch in a nearby vineyard or dancing the night away.

Ever thoughtful – French Kisses has charted its own path in women’s fashion over the last 20 odd years, building a following of true and loyal clients who turned into friends. This beautiful space has become a haven for those who enjoy the quality of slow, bespoke apparel.
