Some souvenirs capture a moment. Mine are designed to carry a journey. And behind that journey is me – Britney Gruijters, the aspiring entrepreneur behind Cape Totes.
As a marketing student with a passion for creativity and bringing ideas to life, I founded this business to reflect everything I believe in. Cape Totes is more than a brand – it’s the result of countless hours of dreaming, designing, and refining. I’ve poured my heart into every detail, from the illustration lines on the tote to the meaning behind each badge. This began as a vision in my head – an idea to create something that isn’t just beautiful, but deeply personal. I wanted every item to feel intentional and tell a story. I believe Cape Town is more than postcards and panoramic views – it’s laughter echoing through markets, sunsets melting into mountain silhouettes, and the stories tucked into every alley and adventure. That’s what this brand is about: transforming travel into something lasting. Whether you’re exploring the city for the first time or returning to rediscover its magic, each badge and tote is crafted to hold your memories – all of them, not just one.
