Namibia becomes the first African country outside South Africa to experience Great British fashion when River Island’s new flagship opens at the Grove Mall on June 12, 2015
Already buzzing in South Africa with four fashionable stores, including store-in-stores at the fashion retailer and Edgars, the Grove Mall will be the fifth stand-alone store on the continent.
Namibians can enjoy shopping the hottest trends direct from the high street in London, with fashion-forward and affordable clothing, footwear and accessories.
River Island is an iconic brand with Great British heritage, created and managed by the Lewis family, and founded and based in London. The business has design at its heart and prides itself on the ability to remain ahead of the trends and indeed to create them.
With over 65 years of fashion retail experience, the brand continues to grow globally and has over 300 stores in the UK, Ireland, Russia, Poland, Holland, Belgium and the Middle East and offers worldwide shipping through its website.
While clients of River Island are all connected by their love for fashion, the brand’s diverse collections all draw on different inspirations, enabling wearers to cultivate their own unique styles.
On June 12, the first day of business, the first 100 customers will receive N$500 off when they spend N$1 000 or more when doors open, while from June 25 to 28 there will be a live DJ, plus the first 200 shoppers will receive River Island branded water bottles and trendy River Island tote bags.
