Our Story

Holiday is a family-owned fashion brand that started 25 years ago with a little shop in Knysna called 'The Beach House'. Then came our much loved flagship store in Plettenberg Bay, which we called Harbour Bay. We then opened a third store in Ballito and rebranded all of our stores as Holiday. Then came a fourth store in Knysna on Thesen Island. And finally, in 2024, Jamie Gotz joined the rest of his family and opened the new store in Hermanus!

Inspired by beach and coastal living in South Africa, Greece, Italy & Mauritius, our pieces are colourful & vibrant, and just perfect for your holiday. We especially love our pieces with hand embroidery, tassels, unique prints & pom poms! From cocktail, party and wedding dresses all the way through to the most magnificent jewellery, most of our garments are handmade & no one piece is the same.
