The larger shopping malls have some international clothing stores, such as Guess, Diesel and Benetton, usually stocking the same clothes as at home, but at slightly better prices. More mainstream shops such as Gap or H&M have not made it to South Africa yet. Woolworths is the South African equivalent of Marks and Spencers and stocks similar wares at lower prices. Victoria Wharf, Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, T 021-4182369. 0800-2200. A shopping mall particularly popular with the young and well-heeled.
