JAFFA DESIGN HOTSPOT TOUR

Eager Tourist - Jaffa Fashion, Style Design Tour

The Mediterranean seaside port town of Jaffa is a modern example of how the ancient can seamlessly blend with the present. The cracked cobblestone streets, energy-flowing neighborhoods and constant proximity to a cornucopia of cultures, backgrounds and disciplines makes Tel Aviv’s 3,000-year-old sister city a world of discovery in its town. Fast forward to 2020, and Jaffa has developed into an international design, fashion and cultural hotspot, where heritage practices and crafts are forged with homegrown art and design principles that will inspire even the most discerning aesthete. With private studios, fashion houses of merit and ingenious design talent waiting to be discovering waiting around every corner, Eager Tourist’s Jaffa Design Hotspot Tour takes guests into the creative heart of Jaffa's multi-cultural creative scene with visits to studios, boutiques, workshops and private residences of locals, creating direct engagements and conversations with locals themselves. 

From a Japanese and Israeli-bred wellness center, to artist studios run by Israeli and Arab curators, many of the places you will visit may be open to the public, while others private spaces and habitats that only locals can enter. A micro-hotspot for chic boutiques by homegrown designers, charming cafes, galleries and cultural enclaves that rival the world's most creative cities. With an Israeli fashion photographer and design journalist as your very own guide, Eager Tourist will curate a customized experience to the very tastes and interests of its guests, opening the door into the core of Jaffa’s design, fashion and cultural scenes.
