The rare. The beautiful. The unexpected.
Founded in 2000 by Marti Foster, Masquerade is a much-loved, iconic destination in the heart of Franschhoek. A shop shaped by instinct, independence, and a deliberate refusal to follow the predictable.
Masquerade offers a shopping experience defined by timeless romance, subtle French influence, and tongue-in-cheek charm, always beautiful, never serious.
In a world of mass production, Masquerade has remained fiercely individual.
Most pieces are designed by, produced for, or imported exclusively by Masquerade, meaning you won’t find them anywhere else. Every item is chosen with care, character, and story in mind.
Décor, gifts, fragrance, homeware – each piece adds personality rather than noise.
Inspired by a continual search for the uncommon, Masquerade’s collection evolves through sourcing both locally and internationally, with roots in French-inspired furniture, linen, and décor discovered across Europe, South America, and beyond.
Nothing is accidental | Nothing is generic
