If you’ve ever struggled to fold a map away, a Crumpled City map is a dream come true.

These soft, extra-light maps are printed onto waterproof material and are available for 40 major cities around the world – including Cape Town. Instead of having to fold it away along its original crease you just crumple the map up and stash it into the small, soft pouch – about the size of a pair of socks.
