Mall of Africa continues to set the standard with an exciting line-up of new store openings and relocations, introducing fresh energy, global style, and proudly South African brands to the centre. From established fashion powerhouses to emerging local concepts, these latest additions underscore the mall’s commitment to curated retail experiences that bring the world to Africa.
Luxury retail takes a confident step forward with the opening of Coach, one of only a select few stores in Gauteng. Located opposite BOSS and Michael Kors, the elegantly designed boutique presents the brand’s most iconic pieces from the Tabby and Rogue handbags to refined everyday accessories crafted from premium leather. Nearby, Kate Spade New York makes its South African debut with the launch of its first-ever local store. Renowned for its crisp colour palette, graphic prints and playful sophistication, the opening offers luxury fashion enthusiasts an exciting opportunity to experience the brand up close.
Emporio Armani has reopened in a newly upgraded space within the mall, inspired by the brand’s Milan flagship. As one of only three stores in Gauteng, the refreshed location delivers a more immersive retail experience, showcasing the brand’s fashion, footwear and accessories. Lacoste has also elevated its presence with the opening of its one-of-a-kind flagship store in the Crystal Court. The first and only Lacoste flagship of its kind in South Africa, the space presents a bold, forward-looking interpretation of the brand’s iconic sport-luxe aesthetic.
The fashion offering has been further elevated with the reopening of BOSS in a newly revamped space, now one of the largest BOSS stores in the country, housing the brand’s sought-after fashion and accessory collections. Joining the line-up is United Colors of Benetton, which brings its distinctive Italian aesthetic to the mall, defined by iconic colour palettes, contemporary silhouettes and a strong commitment to sustainability. This latest addition further strengthens the mall’s appeal to style-conscious shoppers.
Homegrown brand Silki Skincare has evolved from a successful SOOK pop-up into a permanent store, following strong customer demand. The youthful label offers a dedicated space for skincare discovery, complete with complimentary consultations and advanced skin analysis conducted by trained somatologists. Adding to the local mix, Old School, the much-loved South African brand founded by two brothers, brings its signature take on supporter wear and retro-inspired apparel to the mall, celebrating sporting culture through a contemporary lens.
