As South Africans, we take our fashion seriously! We’ve been known to always have our finger on the latest fashion trends. Whether it be inspirational local fashion pieces from our home-grown designers or some of the more famous international brands. This is among the many reasons why the popularity of online clothing shopping in South Africa has majorly increased over the last few years.

There’s nothing easier than buying and checking out fashion online, all from the comfort of your own home! And with plenty of online clothing stores for you to get your fashion fix, there’s hardly any reason to go shopping at the malls anymore.

We’ve recently discovered a platform that takes buying clothes online to a whole new level. It’s online shopping like you’ve never seen it before.

Crate|Ov Clothes is South Africa’s first ever online ‘try before you buy’ clothing platform, exclusively for men.

It has been developed by men, for men. Our purpose is to incorporate the latest fashion trends with the convenience of online shopping. Whether you’re a board meeting kind of guy or an artistic individual, our fashion experts will have you looking your best, any day of the week.

Here’s what you get with your FREE sign up:

1. A crate filled with various clothing and accessory items
2. The chance to try on every item in the comfort of your own home
3. Keep what you like, return the rest
4. Zero delivery or return fees
5. Only get charged for what you keep

How it works:

Once you’ve registered on our site, you will need to complete a style quiz. This will let us know what styles and colours you prefer, what your sizes are, your budget and what kind of looks you’re just not that in to. You will also need to set a delivery date for your crate that’s convenient for you.

Once that’s all set up, you will be assigned a professional, personal stylist who will fill the crate with awesome stuff based on your style profile. The best part is, you will be able to chat to your stylist on WhatsApp or Messenger if ever you need some style tips or advice.

The courier will deliver your crate to your door. The cost is on us. You have 7 days to try the items on, change your mind a few times and then decide what you’re keeping and what you’re returning. The courier will then fetch the crate with the returned items. You will need to fill in a short feedback form to let us know what you liked and what you didn’t, mainly so that we can up our game when packing your next crate. Only then will you be charged for the items you’ve kept.

No busy shopping malls, no long queues, no tiny fitting rooms. How cool does that sound?

Global fashion maestro, David Tlale — feted around the world for his bold and elaborate designs — has teamed up with iconic shoe brand, Crockett & Jones, to produce a must-have collection of stylish and sophisticated formal footwear for young and trendy men. 

The launch range of the Crockett & Jones David Tlale Noir Collection comprises four unique styles, collaboratively developed by Tlale and the footwear brand’s top designers at its Cape Town factory.  

Hand-crafted from genuine leather, Crockett & Jones shoes were famously worn by Nelson Mandela as he walked free from prison in 1990 and are a favourite of fashion followers around the world.  

Tlale, dubbed the “King of Fashion”, is a past winner of Africa’s Designer of the Year and is arguably the continent’s top fashion showman. He is reputed for defying convention and has a passion for proudly South African innovation. Recognised globally for his out-of-the-box, haute couture designs, Tlale’s work has been showcased on the world’s greatest stages, including New York Fashion Week. 

Now, his creative collaboration with Crockett & Jones has resulted in four innovative styles, ranging from men’s formal and sandalised shoes through to slip-ins and slip-on loafers. Each pair is aimed at inspired, young, fashion-conscious men who wish to stand out. The range boasts bows, hand-stained leathers and bold colours — a must-have for every fashion-conscious man’s wardrobe.  

“This is formal footwear redefined,” said Fahiem Frizlar, Crockett & Jones marketing manager. “The collaboration between two of the most in-demand brands at the pinnacle of their game is set to produce some of the most sought after and stylish formal footwear available.” 

“We use only the finest leathers from the world’s leading tanneries and aspire to the highest possible standards of hand-crafted, Goodyear-welted, extra-ordinary quality. This, combined with David’s innovation and creative genius will set the local fashion scene alight.” 

Tlale said: “I am all about elegance and sophisticated fashion that is proudly made in South Africa and I stand for all things African. My design ethos has always been about staying true to African magnificent luxury. The Noir Collection is no different. It is aimed at men of class and timeless fashion who want to invest in quality shoes because shoes maketh the man.”  

This super-stylish range, aimed at the modern man, is priced at around R1 900 a pair and will be available online and at selected retailers from mid-November 2019.
