Pretoria Shopping

Pretoria may be best known for its leafy suburbs and historic charm, but its shopping scene is just as varied and vibrant. From contemporary malls and stylish lifestyle centres to boutique-filled neighbourhood hubs and weekend markets, the capital offers a relaxed yet refined retail experience. Whether you’re browsing local designers, ticking off everyday essentials or settling in for a coffee-fuelled afternoon of retail therapy, Pretoria’s shopping destinations blend convenience, character and a distinctly laid-back pace.

Centurion Mall

We simply cannot overlook the Centurion Mall, a staple favourite on the Pretoria shopping scene. Since its grand opening on 24 April 1984, the mall has been on a remarkable journey, transforming from a humble retail space to the largest super-regional mall in Centurion. From its very first store, OK Bazaar, to welcoming many iconic tenants, this mall is still a staple for your early festive planning needs.

Mo’s Crib

 While their handmade baskets and other proudly South African home accents are available at shops like @home, Woolworths, Mr Price Home, Crate & Barrel and Target, Mo’s Crib is actually located just outside of Pretoria. And what you might not have known, is that the brand’s co-founder, Morongwe (Mo) Mokone was presented with the prestigious Veuve Clicquot Bold Woman Award 2024 last year. Essentially, it is an award that recognises her relentless determination and boldness in the face of adversity. Therefore, if you fancy some local crafts to spruce up your home, visit the outskirts of Pretoria to find Mo’s Crib.

Irene Village Market

Also a firm favourite among locals, especially those living toward Centurion’s side, this market – hosted at The Big Red Barn – is another one to add to your calendar. With dates set for 2 and 30 August, as well as 6 and 27 September, you can plan in advance and leverage on the offering. Now in its 36th year, this market is where you’ll get to meet the makers personally, explore delicious, locally made foodie treats and enjoy music and entertainment by local artists.

Pretoria Boeremark

This family market is probably the most popular market in Pretoria, with loads to see and shop. In fact, in essence it is testament to the quality of local farmers, producers and artisans in the surrounding area, bringing the best of the best to one space and allowing those looking for fresh produce to browse and buy to their hearts’ content. Open every Saturday, the first shoppers usually arrive just after 05:00, making it an exciting outing for the whole family, whether in winter or in summer. If you are in search of something specific, our recommendation is to go as early as possible, since the best produce sells out rather quickly. Be sure to come hungry too, as the typically South African melkkos, pancakes and moerkoffie are a must! The market is open every Saturday from 05:30 to 09:30.

Honey Badger Deco

Established in 2017, Honey Badger Deco has become a go-to in Pretoria for those shopping for lighting and décor products. When the founders could not find what they were looking for, for their own décor project, they decided to make their own. In the end, through word of mouth, their initial idea grew into a full-blown business. They’ve since produced lights for restaurants, local and international homeowners and boutique stores. Their products are eco-friendly and inspired by nature and they continue to be mindful about their impact on the environment.

Kudla Foods

We recently came across a store that stocks our favourite Giraf Macadamia Milk (and so much more) at some of the most affordable prices and we can’t be happier about it! Located in Lynnwood, this shop is Pretoria’s go-to good-deal-store, stocking a range of pantry staples, treats and lunchbox fillers. They serve both retail and wholesale markets, making it the perfect one-stop shop. As a bonus, they also have an online shop, which makes life even easier!

Menlyn Park Shopping Centre

Following their recent Winter Edit launch, featuring most of their major fashion stores, a talk on trends and a showcase of must-have fashion items specially curated by Madeleine Rossouw from Curated Style, we’ve once again fallen in love with Menlyn Park and its variety of options when it comes to shopping fashion trends and styles. From Woolworths non-negotiable basics to unique pieces from Poetry, you’re bound to find what you’re looking for. With it being such a big shopping hub, the stores make provision for lots of shoppers, which means finding your size won’t be a hassle. Its location just off the N1 highway can’t be any more convenient and of course, there are ample restaurants to choose fromafter a long day of shopping.

The Scoin Shop

The Scoin Shop has recently launched a luxurious flagship store at Brooklyn Mall. This premier gold coin and bullion retailer has subsequently set a new standard for luxury retail design, with a seamless, intentional space. The team from Urban Flux Studios and Hubo Studio’s vision blends heritage, innovation and security and shoppers can expect an immersive, high-end shopping experience at the brand-new store. Inspired by South Africa’s rich mining history, a sculptural ceiling and stepped flooring adds to the storytelling aspect of the store, creating a visually striking interior. Each coin on display has a story and therefore, their “display system is designed to honour that,” says Blue Bennington, Director at Urban Flux Studios. “It’s part retail, part museum – an experience unlike any other.” Of course, security forms a large part of the store design too. Clients will transition from the public retail space to private consultation areas, culminating in ‘The Vault’ – a secure, intimate setting for high-value transactions.

Forever New X Natasha Joubert

In a breathtaking two-part launch with an event in both Pretoria and Cape Town, Forever New South Africa has unveiled its first-ever bridal collection, In White, in partnership with former Miss SA, Natasha Joubert and Château Gâteaux. The launch event was one to remember, offering an intimate meet-and-greet, as well as beautiful glasses of bubbly and delicious confections. Joubert, who collaborated with Forever New on the collection, was at the event, engaging with guests and sharing her personal inspiration behind each piece. The romance continued in Cape Town, where the Mirage Catamaran played host to an immersive sunset experience. Joubert’s journey with Forever New started when she visited their head office in Australia during her reign as Miss South Africa. While she was planning her wedding, she struggled to find refined, elegant, white pieces for pre-wedding celebrations. Hence, inspired by her story, Forever New’s Global Managing Director collaborated with her to curate a collection that embodies modern bridal sophistication. Ultimately, the collection is a celebration of love, styled to perfection. Find your In White piece online, or visit select Forever New stores, including those at Menlyn Park Shopping Centre and Mall of Africa.
