PEEK is South Africa’s biggest digital portal dedicated to visually showcasing beautiful craft and design products made in South Africa. Peek provides a platform for South African businesses anywhere in the country to showcase their work to a local and global audience, highlighting the very best of what South Africa has to offer.
