Rainbow Friday: the SA expat’s Friday shopping feature #5

March 4, 2016

It’s the first Friday in March, and over here at finglobal.com we wish teleportation was already on the cards so we could visit our nearest and dearest over in the UK. It’s not great to miss friends and family who are far away, but luckily our loved ones over there in the land of Her Majesty can find some local flavour at The Savanna.

Remember to mail your shop suggestions to: info@finglobal.com.

Shop of the Week – The Savanna

Our sisters and brothers over in the UK can find whatever safa delight suits their fancy in one of the eight Savanna stores in London.
