About

A love of old things

Vintage treasures and gifts — the same Treasure Cartel brand, now with a shopfront in Malmesbury.

Our story

The Treasure Cartel

Elizabeth runs The Treasure Cartel — a vintage and gift hunt for crystalware, curios, textiles and finds worth keeping. The brand grew through markets and socials; in 2026 the shop opened in Malmesbury in partnership with SA Leather Academy.

“Vintage treasures and gifts” — the line on our card, and what we put on the shelf.

Two Elizabeths on the card: Elizabeth Spies and Elizabeth Bezuidenhout — both reachable for the shop. We keep the bio short; the pieces do the talking.

Malmesbury shop

Co-located with SA Leather Academy at Rainier Street — vintage gifts beside leather craft. The academy site is a partner resource for courses and leather work, not our ecommerce storefront.
