» Little Shop of Strange born out of owner's fascination with magic,the occult.
Walking into the Little Shop of Strange, anyone would be forgiven for thinking they've walked onto a Tim Burton movie set.
It's not every day you stumble upon a shop where voodoo dolls and horror memorabilia sit alongside cheeky bumper stickers and a mirror daring you not to enter... or a furry wall that encourages stroking in times of stress.
Proprietor Leanne du Preez has made it her mission to invite people into her universe: a world that mixes up occult magic with a sharp sense of wit.
"This shop is basically me in a nutshell," she said. "It's for anyone who's a bit against the grain; for rebels," she says.
A browse around gives the impression that it's a bit of a twisted sanctuary for anyone looking for something, well, rather different.
The Little Shop of Strange is like the John Cleese of retail.
You'll find life-size – well almost – versions of demonic horror-doll Chucky and scary stuff.
It is curated chaos of horror-inspired decor with occult trinkets.
