Michael Kors (New York) has opened its first store in South Africa. The 2497-square-foot location in the V&A Waterfront Mall in Cape Town showcases the retailer’s ready-to-wear, footwear and accessories collections, reports Women’s Wear Daily.

The retailer partnered with the Surtee Group, a South African specialist retail company who has also previously partnered with Hugo Boss, Paul Smith, Burberry, Lacoste, Giorgio Armani, Hackett and Dunhill.
