Another one who cries crocodile tears. As of every puffer jacket everywhere is a K Way knock off

K-Way vs. knockoffs: The hidden cost of fake fashion in SA

Martine Vogelman, director of strategic brands for Cape Union Mart, unpacks how counterfeit K-Way products are quietly damaging local jobs, skills, and trust in the local retail economy...

Dude, there are literally knock off k-ways, with branding and all, available on Temu.

Yup. Chief level tears.

Yeah I'm not paying R2k or more for an authentic K Way LMAO

Edit: it's a fair point you make, but what I'm getting at is one corporate crying, and another one selling stuff straight from Temu and Shein.

No one says you have to, but then at least have the decency to buy some other cheaper brand, or even an unbranded product - just please don’t buy the fake K-Way.

There is nothing as cringe as buying fake name brand products.

To be fair, for this specific example, I did not ever see a fake kway on Temu. Only Cat, Under Armour and HH. It doesn't change anything though.

I don't buy fake name brand products, but I do not blame people who do. Screw these local ripoff companies. I feel ZERO pity for them.

And what's with the PLEASE?

I have seen Kway stuff on Temu, I don't agree with counterfeiting or replicas, as they call them now days, copy a style by all means but not the branding, make your own brand you lazy cnts.

Legit Kway stuff isnt that badly priced, they generally make very high quality stuff, just buy it on sale if you find it too pricey at full price.

I have bought my fair share of K Way clothing (particularly the soft shell jackets) and I am not convinced that it's anything more than paying for a brand. Quality is not bad, but by far not worth the price.

They are terribly priced these days if not on sale. Total ripoff.

Edit: No, I don't buy clothing from Temu. Recently got a Jacobs puffer jacket, much better quality than K Way. I also have 3 Johnsons jackets (probably cannot call them soft shell but it's the same thing), much better quality.

Complaining about the price of k-way, and then buying Johnson’s workwear? I have nothing against either brand, both in terms of quality and price, but Johnson’s is by no means “cheap”.

Johnson is cheaper than kway, and better quality by far.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Has anyone tried ' option and got refund ? I am sure I cancelled once but didn't hear from them again. Nothing reflected on credit card either.

Cool story bro - just a pity it’s not really true. I mean there is nothing wrong with the quality of either brand - but there isn’t really much between them on price.

Same story when you compare their cotton shirts and shorts with Old Khaki

No sir. I paid R499 for the black and the dark blue jacket from Johnsons, and I think 549 for the grey one. This was about 2 years ago.

In 2019, I paid 799 each for 2 soft shell jackets at Cape Union Mart. Also, it was 1699 for a puffer jacket. LMAO.

Also, none of the jackets in your photos are the ones I got.

I paid 449 for the Jacobs puffer at DE Jagers just this weekend.

No need to get ripped off.

Edit: Also, Old Khaki is part of the Cape Union Mart group. It seems to be the Mr Price of that group LMAO.

This place. They've now got a popup to activate WhatsApp promo comms. But they make the X to close the window dysfunctional half the time so you click ok or done in frustration only to find yourself subscribed.

They will also randomly jump right to your cart when you open the app and make it easy to hit the checkout button.

 

[GreenCardigan]

OK cool, thanks. I haven't ordered in a while, so it was new to me. Wonder if AliExpress would be the same now.

AliExpress is absolutely not the same. I pay iMile 40% to 70% for each item even if they are Choice items or Bundled items with "free shipping" (bundled items rarely get shipped together). I actually paid R650 on a R950 order.

It's the first time I used Temu (still awaiting delivery by SpeedAF) and the fact that I don't have to pay this racket by iMile means I will not be buying on AliExpress anytime soon.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

jirre.. For a temu order, Fastway couriers guy called at random times last 2 days but each time, caller hanged up after just 2 rings and then each time delivery was marked as 'We were unable to deliver your parcel"

 

[Vis1/0N]

Sad about the AliExpress couriers still at it. Temu has gotten more expensive on none clothing items in particular - I say more expensive based on the recent prices from last month which already included customs+vat. This despite the stronger rand dollar vs 2 years back. Ali is still competitive and still the best, just that the couriers have ruined it. Happier to get items sent via SAPO, but for the more expensive items you want reliability but that means adding this 40-70%. So they are out most times. I can get some items from Banggood cheaper than Temu as well.

I have received no promo's from Temu for a long while, just the rubbish buy 8 items one. I did spend R3K with them last month. The items had discounted prices on single items, and the regular prices on more than one of the item. Did the math - realised that if I did finish farmland the R900 coupon of the R3000 order would not save me anything, since the discounted items would jump back to regular price under farmland coupon.

I also realised that with many promos, you have to be very careful with Temu "specials".

Absolutely. I nearly spent R2500+ to get 8 "free" items. It started with 2 "free" items and they kept on adding such "free" items. Fortunately, I had sense to back out in time. LOL.
