Well Souled South Africa is not a traditional coffee-
table book, a travel guide or a chronological journal. It is a series of impressions coming from a series of encounters, documented by a map of "threads" which illustrate how this journey began. The result is a portrayal of a country not from the outside looking in, but rather from the perspective of a traveler who discovers contemporary South Africa from the South Africans. These vignettes capture their answers to a simple question: "How do you define style?"

A unique mix of sophisticated, fashion-inspired design (the "well") and interwoven, first-person narratives (the "soul") distinguishes Well Souled as a dynamic an experience that piques your curiosity and your senses.

Like art or couture, this book will evoke something different in each person who engages in it. We invite you to travel South Africa the Well Souled way, and perhaps pick up a thread of your own...
