About
The original grant of La Bri is one of the oldest Huguenot-allocated farms in the Franschhoek Valley. The farm is situated in the valley previously known as Olifantshoek. The name La Bri is probably derived from the outlying town of Brie which was the stomping grounds of the de Villiers family in the early 13th century. L’Abri is also French for “the refuge or Haven”, a perfect name for this property, as it is safely nestled in the imposing amphitheatre of the Franschhoek valley. Today La Bri is a vibrant boutique winery and a visit to Franschhoek won’t be complete without a stopover at La Bri.

The perfect middle ground
There has always been something of an argument as to whether it's better to be tall or short. And as always, the ones doing the arguing have no idea what it's like to be the other. So, while tall folk like to joke that they can at least reach the top of the kitchen cabinet, they're also more likely to have been made to stand at the very back of all their school photos. It's not a great feeling. And yes, we're talking from personal experience.
Those on the shorter side often love to pass comments like 'how's the weather up there?', and boast about having an easier time finding clothes that fit. But they're also more likely to get asked for their ID at a club - which, now that we think about it, is flattering in its own way.
At the end of the day, it's important to love the skin you're in and the height you have. And it's all the better when all of us can find a healthy middle ground, like our main deal of KOIKOI 100% cotton shorts. Shorts that everyone can love themselves in.
