Actress and entrepreneur Enhle Mbali is preparing to open the doors to her very own Essie Apparel store in Rosebank, Johannesburg.
The star recently shared an exciting video on Instagram, giving her followers a behind-the-scenes look at the journey of transforming the space into the store of her dreams. The video shows the renovations taking place and highlights how the empty store slowly came to life through creativity, hard work, and vision.
Speaking in the video, Enhle reflected on how far the space has come. “This is how the Essie Appreal store looked before we worked our magic. Yes, it’s just a shell, has no potential, but the imagination I have turned it into the store it is right now,” she said.
The video showcases the beautiful wooden floors, spacious interiors, and elegant displays that now fill the store. Enhle also gave fans a glimpse of some of the stunning designs that will be available, including gorgeous bridal dresses displayed on mannequins.
As she walked viewers through the newly transformed space, she shared her excitement about what lies ahead. “Welcome to a piece of my dream. Welcome to the beginning of great things,” she said.
The store is expected to officially launch in the coming weeks, marking a major milestone for the actress and fashion designer.
In the caption accompanying the video, Enhle opened up about the journey of creating the store and what the space means to her.
“It has been such a journey creating this store — a space where you can truly step into my world and experience Essie Apparel.
Every detail was chosen with intention, from the textures and finishes to the atmosphere that welcomes you the moment you walk through the door.”
She also took a moment to thank those who helped bring her vision to life, particularly the team responsible for installing the store’s flooring.
“A special thank you to @laminatefloorworld for the beautiful floors you installed. They have become the foundation of the Essie experience and truly are the cherry on top. I am beyond grateful for your craftsmanship and attention to detail.”
Enhle concluded her message by warmly welcoming supporters into the brand’s new home. “Welcome to the world of Essie Appreal.”
With the official launch just weeks away, the new store promises to give customers a chance to experience the world of Essie Apparel in a beautiful and carefully curated space created by Enhle herself.
