For those who missed it, there were reports of snow on the mountains around Ceres on 2 April, and no, it wasn't some kind of belated April Fool's joke (did you spot the prank release, though?). This early dusting certainly feels like a "long, cold winter" warning; time to start putting away the shorts and flip-flops, and pull out the coats and boots. However, if you're looking for something new, why not check out Sactwu's very own in-house brand, Collaborative 25? Although, a winter shopping spree for the clothing and textile industry means something else entirely: Source Africa. The 2014 expo will be taking place in Cape Town in June. Until next week, stay warm!
