Coricraft
Coricraft is one of South Africa’s favourite furniture factory shops and for good reason. Their furniture is simple yet stunning, inspiring visitors to drop some cash at almost every visit. The real problem, however, is that we can’t all afford to fully kit our homes in Coricraft's fine furniture. The answer? Coricraft has a factory shop in Wynberg and it goes without saying that you can get great end-of-range furniture without breaking the bank.
Address: Sandton Clearance Centre, Unit A9 Top Floor, Corner Louis Botha and Arkright Road, Wynburg.
Fairland Walk
Fairland Walk is conveniently situated on the corner of Beyers Naude Drive and Wilson Street in the suburb of Fairland, Johannesburg. They have everything from Timberland to Forever New and Diesel. It's the perfect stop for anyone who's looking for good deals on a range of popular brands. So, whether it comes to factory clothing, shoes or accessories, this shopping centre will have you covered at fraction of the price.
Address: Corner Beyers Naude Drive and Wilson Street, Fairland, Johannesburg.
Forever New
We are forever in love with Forever New and for good reason! Their clothing, shoes and accessories are nothing short of a classy affair that we all want to be a part of. However, their items often have a really fancy price tag which is why you need to make a stop at their factory store in Woodmead. Who would have thought that Forever New would be amongst the list of Woodmead factory shops? Awesome!
Address: Woodmead Value Mart, Waterval Crescent, Woodmead Ext 5, Woodmead, Johannesburg.
Big Blue Clearance Store
Ever seen someone wearing a really clever shirt with a truly South African phrase on it and wondered where it was from? That would be Big Blue. Their gear is original and well-fitting. Their factory store in Linden stocks all the same awesome apparel at a fraction of the price. Buy a few shirts at the beginning of summer and you’ve got your tees covered for the rest of the season.
Address: 57 Third Avenue, Linden, Johannesburg.
