I discovered
online shopping earlier this year, I had just started working and you know how
it is, you want to experience all these things because you can now afford them,
and for me one of those things was online shopping and I never looked back, the
convince of just buying things from the comfort of your home, who wouldn’t want
that. Almost every month I buy something online, I think I might be obsessed,
but that is a story for another day.
What was
surprising is the amount of online shops we have in South Africa, I honestly
underestimated us as a country, I thought we were not there yet, but I was
wrong. So in this post I will be listing the various online shops we have in
SA, that sell different things, some you may know, some may be new, but they
are worth trying. I have bought somethings in some of these shops and some come
highly recommended by friends and colleagues. So here goes:
For clothes
I will start by listing
the famous and obvious:
Zando.co.za
This is my favorite,
so reliable so fast and definitely worth every penny. I have bought a few items
here and the great thing is the offer you various ways to pay for your purchase
(credit card, EFT bank deposit, cash on delivery (in some areas) and other
ways. All this is on their website. They also have various brands you can
choose from, those Blackcherry bags or Madison shoes, I am a fan.
Spree.co.za
This is also
another famous online shop, it has beautiful bags and just like Zando, it is
very reliable and efficient. It comes highly recommended, it has great clothes
(even maternity wear) and they also sell things for your home, for the
bathroom, bedroom etc. check it out, it is worth it.
Za.stylemology.com
This one is
definitely for your cool kids type of person, so if you have a sister, brother,
kid in their teens you might find something for them here. The prices for some
of the things are a bit too much, but they are of good quality. Plus they do
have some great shoes for the ladies. So have a look at it.
erato.co.za/
Classy and
sophisticated, plus it comes highly recommended by Gracia magazine. This shop
has beautiful shoes and bags, very high quality and very fast and reliable when
it comes to delivery. I love it, and will definitely be buying there soon. It
is worth every penny.
za.nextdirect.com/en/
And last but not
least on this category, it is Next, I recently discovered this shop through a
friend of mine who is also equally obsessed with online shopping. And it is
great, it has everything you can think of, from baby wear, to shoes, to bags,
to homeware. You can find everything you need there. It is very great, I have
ordered a bag there and I am hoping it will not disappoint.
For bags
Since the sites
I have mentioned above also sell bags, I only have one under this category,
that sells bags only and nothing else.
handbag-collection.co.za/
There are two
words to describe this shop, “gorgeous bags”. You just need to visit their site
and see it for yourself. Their bags are of high quality, they are trendy and
beautiful. Very reasonable prices so I say it is definitely worth it!
For
Homeware
I only have 2
websites that I would like to recommend under this category, I am obsessed with
interior design, so I have searched far and wide to find unique pieces for my
little home, and these following shops have been one of the places I have
looked and found somethings that I liked.
volpes.co.za/
For your bedroom
and bathroom this is the shop to visit. They sell everything, from curtains to
duvet cover sets to cushions, you want it for your house, they got it! They
sell great quality stuff. I cannot sell this online shop enough, so I think it
is best you go check it out for yourself, you won’t be disappointed.
6thelement.co.za/
This is also one
of my favorites when it comes to homeware, it has unique pieces for your home,
worth every penny. The best part is they deliver for free, so all you need to
pay for is the item you are buying and that is it. Depending on the theme of
your house, they will accommodate you, modern, contemporary, they have it.
I could not
personally review all the online shops because I have not bought from them
personally, but here is the list of some of the online shops we have in SA, you
can check them out and see if you find something you like:
Blushonline.co.za, Eliteoccasions.co.za, Poetrystores.co.za, Queueshoes.co.za, Okapi.com/za/, Zoomfootwear.co.za, Figoleather.co.za, Ingoodcompany.co.za, Barakashop.co.za, e-bag.co.za, makoyabrands.com, beadle.co.za, smacs.co.za, soloshoes.co.za
Any other online
shops that have caught your eye specifically South African, so Ali doesn’t
count. LOL or do you have any previous experience with the ones mentioned
above, how was it? Do share..
Happy Online
Shopping!!
