Real Housewives of Durban star Sorisha Naidoo has a new place to shop — the R550m Platinum Walk, showcasing leading international brands at the Oceans Mall in Umhlanga.
The Platinum Walk boasts stores like Gucci, Jimmy Choo, MAXHOSA, Michael Kors, Ben & Co, AmorCouture, Hugo Boss, Diesel, Coco Safar, Lacoste, Paul and Shark, Aeronautica, Versailles, L’atelier and Umhlanga Laser, was launched on Saturday.
“The unprecedented social media buzz on the Platinum Walk opening said it all. Now Durban will be cited when one Googles for international brands, which is great for the PR of the city,” Naidoo told news reporters on Sunday.
Her husband, businessman Vivian Reddy, is the co-developer of the multimillion-rand mall.
Reddy told news reporters more than 3,000 shoppers visited the high-end international fashion stores with “never-ending queues at Gucci” on Saturday.

“The presence of the international brands in Durban means shoppers don’t have to incur the costs of travelling to Johannesburg or Cape Town to do their shopping.”
The mall’s general manager, S’phume Khuzwayo, said the Platinum Walk was a first for Durban.
“We have partnered with leading international brands, bringing Dubai to Durban, to create a shopping experience unlike any other.”
