A KwaZulu-Natal influencer has given her followers what they've been waiting for: quality branded clothing at prices that won't break the bank. Content creator @zizidlaminii, who regularly shares fashion finds and discount shopping spots across the province, posted a video on 18 August 2025 that went viral with over 6,000 reactions and hundreds of comments. Her caption read:
"Crafty Clothing 🔌 plug. 55 Buro Crescent, next to Malls Tiles at Brickfield. I am a personal shopper - to order WhatsApp @CRAFTYCLOTHINGS 0676601491."
In the video, the influencer welcomed viewers to another episode of her plug series, introducing them to what she called a hidden gem. She walked through the store showing DKNY jeans going for R300, men's cargo pants, chino shorts for R160 to R190, and denim shorts for only R180. She kept stating that these were quality items, asking viewers where else they could find such deals. The sale includes T-shirts, chino pants, cargo pants, and denim jeans, all at heavily discounted prices.
She encouraged people to go with their families, get an Uber, or drive themselves to the location in Brickfield. Her excitement was clear as she told viewers not to walk but run to the shop before the stock runs out.

How to shop smart during sales
According to shopping experts at In the Folds, buying thoughtfully during sale seasons needs intention and planning. They suggest keeping 'wants' and 'needs' lists throughout the year, regularly checking what you already own that could fill the gap before buying something new.
If an item stays on your 'want' list for a long time and the desire hasn't gone away, move it to the 'need' list. Use this list to guide your purchases during sales instead of impulse buying. They also recommend staying off social media during sale seasons to avoid the temptation of influencer hauls and pushy advertising. When you do buy during sales, try to purchase everything from one store to reduce shipping costs and your carbon footprint.
Content creator @zizidlaminii works as a personal shopper, meaning she can visit stores like Crafty Clothing, purchase items for her followers, and arrange delivery. This service helps people who can't get to the store themselves or those living in other provinces who want to take advantage of these Durban deals.
Based on the comments, many viewers were interested in ladies' clothing options and wanted to know if the sale extended beyond men's items. The influencer's approach of sharing exact locations, prices, and contact details makes it easy for her followers to either visit themselves or contact her to shop on their behalf.
