Eastern Cape notes on supplies & care
Foam suppliers and fabric shops in Gqeberha and East London stock upholstery fabric, vinyl, webbing and staples for the trade and DIYers, and smaller towns usually order through them. Choose solution-dyed outdoor fabric for coastal stoeps and ask for stainless staples near the sea. Karoo dust and beach sand get into couches, so upholstery cleaning is common, and machine rentals are popular before the holiday season.
Eastern Cape: the homes, the climate and the workshops
Car factories in Kariega and East London have given this province a deep pool of motor trimming and seat work, and that skill spills over into bakkie seats, taxi benches, classic car interiors and boat cushions. Gqeberha's industrial areas in Struandale and Deal Party and East London's Wilsonia hold many of the workshops, alongside home upholsterers in the townships. Furniture work changes with the landscape: Karoo towns such as Graaff-Reinet and Cradock have Cape Dutch pieces and riempie chairs, Makhanda has student houses and old settler homes, and the Wild Coast relies on long trips from Mthatha. The constant wind and salt on the coast rust staples and wear outdoor fabric, while Karoo dust settles into every couch.

- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: zipped covers for kombi bench cushions and camper van bed cushions
