Get ready to shop, H&M is coming to Joburg in November

accreditation

Despite living at the tip of Africa, we are still able to look internationally fabulous, not just thanks to our wonderful local designers, but also since big brands are being imported and available for our shopping pleasure. 

Zara, Top Shop, Forever 21, River Island… Once these brands were just a distant dream, but now they are available throughout the country, and the list just got better.

H&M are coming to South Africa!

We all heard the rumours, but now there is tangible evidence that proves it is true. According to Womenstuff, the very first South African H&M store will be opening in Sandton City shopping mall.

Sandton City took to their Facebook page to announce the big news, stating that the flagship store will be open in November, just in time for Christmas shopping.

In a press release, H&M have stated that the doors to the Joburg store will be open from  11am to midnight on the 7th of November. To celebrate the opening, those eager customers first in line will be rewarded with a gift and the day promises an entertaining celebration of fashion and fun for all.

The store will be open on Sunday 8 November from 9.00am - 11.00pm and thereafter from 9.00am - 8.00pm each weekday.

H&M is a Swedish multinational retail clothing company and is the second largest global clothing retailer. Now we no longer have to shop for H&M clothes online, pay exorbitant shipping costs and wait weeks to get our items.

Now if only Selfridges, J crew and Barneys will find their way here, we will be in shopping heaven.

UPDATE: H&M have confirmed that they will be opening their  first South African store at the V&A Waterfront in October 2015. The store will be approximately 4700 square meters, making it one of the largest in the world and the flagship store of South Africa, with 2 floors of fashion for everyone to dress their personal style. We can't wait to shop!
