What to know locally in East London
Upholsterers in East London and the motor trimmers near the plant handle car seats, leather conversions, headliners and bakkie seat covers. Taxis from Mdantsane and Qonce come in for vinyl benches.

Ski boats from the river and the coast need marine vinyl, and guesthouses in Gonubie recover patio and pool cushions.
East London: the homes, the climate and the workshops
A river port with a car plant beside it, East London mixes motor trimming with plenty of household work. Trimmers near the West Bank and Wilsonia recover car and bakkie seats, fit roof linings and supply leather conversions, while furniture upholsterers recover lounge suites and dining chairs in Vincent, Berea, Nahoon and Beacon Bay. Mdantsane, one of the largest townships in the country, has many home workshops recovering couches and making headboards. Government offices in Bhisho and Qonce send office chairs and boardroom seating. Holiday homes in Gonubie and along the coast need outdoor cushions and mould-resistant fabric, since the humid sea air rusts springs and leaves foam damp.
Typical commercial upholstery requests in the area come from:
- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: dealership waiting lounges and service centre seating that sees heavy daily use
- Boats, caravans and 4x4s: lodge lounges, golf clubhouses and resorts with bar stools and lounge seating
- Homeowners and tenants: a home-based salon or a small family takeaway with a few seats to redo
