About Us
Our Story
Arabesque is a family owned business which was founded by Zelda Strauss as a small shop in Mossel Bay in 2007 . It has expanded ever since to become one of the top destination shops on the Garden Route. In 2011, Lee Nel, Zelda’s second daughter also opened an Arabesque store in Stellenbosch then later in 2019, she launched her own brand, Lira & Fynn.
In April 2014 Zelmarie Strauss, Zelda’s oldest daughter, opened the third Arabesque in the very fashionable Kloof Street, Cape Town, and since moved the store to Durbanville Central.
The family success continues to grow from strength to strength. Currently Arabesque has 3 stores in the Western Cape with the main store located in Durbanville, Corner of Oxford Street & Wellington Road.
