Stay Warm, Shop Up a Storm: Discover Winter's Best Offers
There's a particular kind of pleasure in shopping when it's cold out. The escape of cosy stores when it’s raining, the simple joy of ordering one more coffee to warm up your hands, the excitement of finally buying the thing you've been walking past all season, telling yourself, "next time".
Right now, with end-of-season sales on across the V&A Waterfront, that "next time" has arrived.
Refresh your winter wardrobe
Every wardrobe has a few pieces that outlast the trends: the coat with the cut that still turns heads five years on or that timeless leather bag that only gets better with use. If one of those has had you pacing past a shop window all winter, this is the time to stop and step inside.
Armani Exchange, BOSS, Coach, Emporio Armani, Hugo, Kate Spade, Lacoste, Longchamp, Michael Kors, Paul Smith and Tiger of Sweden are all running discounts of up to 60% on selected items across the neighbourhood.
Prefer to build out the everyday basics instead? H&M's Between Seasons sale offers up to 50% off selected winter apparel making it ideal for stocking up on the pieces that'll carry you through these last icy weeks and even straight into spring.
Get lost between the shelves
From 24 July to 3 August, Exclusive Books' Annual Warehouse Sale returns, with titles from just R75. Maybe you're hunting for your next lazy weekend read, a cookbook to shake up the midweek supper rut, a thriller that'll keep you up a little too late, or something to keep the kids occupied on the drive home. Either way, it's the kind of sale where you go in for one book and leave with four.
Make a day of it
Shopping at the Waterfront is almost never just about shopping. And that's sort of the point. Grab your coffee while the neighbourhood's still stretching awake, work your way through the stores until something catches your eye, then land at lunch overlooking the harbour with the winter sun doing exactly what it does best this time of year.
One last chance before spring
Winter won't hang around much longer, and neither will these offers. So, if there's a jacket that needs replacing, a pair of sneakers you've been justifying to yourself for weeks, or a stack of books calling your name, go and explore the latest seasonal offers and find your reason to spend the day at the V&A Waterfront before winter calls it a day.
