What is the CottonOn store

According to an article by Biz Community, CottonOn is an Autralian based retailer that has expanded its footprint even to South Africa.

The report indicates that the store first opened in Durban in 2014, making it now a decade old since operating in the city.

Why is the store having a sale?

Most of the clothing items shown in the video are summer clothes, which gives a natural reason why the sale is taking place.

The store is potentially hitting two birds with one stone in that they could be clearing up the shelves to accommodate season-appropriate apparel, particularly winter clothing, and they could also be marketing their presence.
