We’re so excited to finally welcome one of London’s trend setting clothing brands, Topshop and Topman to South Africa! They’ve recently opened a store in Sandton and now, Durban’s Gateway Theater of Shopping plays home to the second TOPSHOP store in South Africa.
Always first with the trends and shopping scoop, StyleScoop was there to bring you an inside look at this amazing new chain.
It opened officially on Saturday, 14th December at 10am, but the media got to enjoy a sneak peek one hour before the official launch, complete with yummy muffins, coffee and early morning treats from another Gateway hotspot, Tasha’s!
Take a look a some stylish pieces we scooped…
Love this display! Mixing floral trends with leopard and studded details is a hot trend and Topshop nails it 100%!
Perfect summer studded shorts!
Well hello there cute booties!
Studded clutches! I want, I want, I want!
High Top wedge sneakers that will turn any casual outfit into a stylish one!
Sky high platforms and leopard pumps

Best way to start a morning of shopping… With Tasha’s freezo’s – YUM!

My friend Vanessa’s amazing arm candy, satin peplum shirt and studded bag! I found a spiked bracelet very similar at Topshop and the bracelet she’s wearing with the skulls and black string is also a TopShop buy. Love it
And while we’re talking about Vanessa’s amazing arm sway, her rings were just as amazing! The one she’s wearing on her ring finger, I actually ended up buying from top shop.
As you can see, lots and lots of trendy studs and leopard prints! I actually need to make a second trip to TopShop to see what else there is on offer. I was most impressed with the selection and found myself running around from section to section snapping up all the exciting pieces.
The store itself is surprisingly quite large and also hosts TOPMAN, which (guys) I’m afraid, I didn’t get a chance to check out! When the store was still being renovated, judging by the entrance I thought it would be tiny! I am pleasantly surprised that its at least five times bigger than I had imagined and we all know what that means… five times more opportunities to shop!
Have you been to TOPSHOP or TOPMAN in South Africa yet? What did you think of the store and their pricing and tell me what you bought.
