The Goose Company

We established The Goose Company as a sister company to Holtzhausen Clocks, our family business which is known for hand built grandfather, wall and mantelpiece clocks. We started in 1974 and as with most successful family businesses, each generation creates innovation. When Herman took over the business from his mother Corrie, he secured sole agency for the world's most exclusive Swiss-made music boxes, adding Reuge to the South African portfolio.

When I married into the family I was influenced by the Holtzhausen understanding of timeless products. I wanted to develop a product that complimented Holtzhausen with a subtle, feminine presence. Our friendship with Derrick and Janine Terblanche sparked the Eureka moment. Derrick had over 8 years experience in Goose Down bedding. Chatting over lunch in the Winelands, we noted the similarities between clocks and Goose Down, both being once in a lifetime purchases, that come with an expectation of discreet and personal customer attention. 

Today, many late nights after that conversation, I am proud to say that we bring to you an extensive range of Pillows and Duvets of the highest quality. Our products are natural, Hypo-allergic, machine washable and durable. Like our clocks and music boxes, they will make of your house, a home. 

There is no business like family business. Each generation creates innovation.

Sleep to dream!
