Borrow Designer Handbags in Cape Town

The home of the shared designer closet

Kaya began in Cape Town, and the idea was simple: the joy of a beautiful designer bag should not be a once-in-a-lifetime purchase. Members borrow from a shared closet of authenticated designer bags and carry something different whenever the mood turns, so every outfit feels like the version of yourself you most want to be.

Because this is our home city, local delivery is quick. Bags arrive by insured courier to your door, in Sea Point, Camps Bay, Constantia, Claremont, the City Bowl, and across Cape Town. Kaya delivers nationwide across South Africa too, so your membership travels with you.
