Bay Harbour Market in Hout Bay is passionate about championing local businesses that make a meaningful difference in the community.
One such inspiring story comes from 30 South, a company dedicated to producing sustainable sunglasses and creating a positive impact on the environment.
What’s in a Name?
30 South derives its name from the 30th parallel line of latitude, the South 30° South meridian that runs through the heart of the country. This name reflects our commitment to aligning our business with the desires and needs of South Africans concerning eyewear products.
Community Impact
Our recent relocation to Cape Town led to initiatives like beach cleanups in Kommetjie. Teaming up with SA Surfing, we’ve introduced limited edition sunglasses at Bay Harbour Market to support their youth development programs, fostering a sense of community and environmental responsibility.
Recycled Sunglasses for a Sustainable Future
Choosing recycled ocean plastics over traditional materials, we’ve shifted our focus to purpose over profit. Our sunglasses are crafted from recycled ocean plastics, incorporating eco-friendly coloring and sustainable packaging, reducing our environmental footprint.
Youth Engagement and Environmental Advocacy
We actively engage with the youth, appreciating their contribution to cleanup efforts and environmental advocacy. Young individuals are at the forefront of driving positive change, staying informed, and holding companies accountable, shaping a better future for generations to come.
Why Bay Harbour Market?
We’re discerning about where we showcase our brand. Bay Harbour Market stood out to us because it mirrors our values. It’s a vibrant hub of South African talent, home to ethical and local brands—a perfect match for our ethos.
