MRP is one of South Africa’s most popular low-priced fashion retailers and a successful online store which ships worldwide. The fashion retailer has been hailed as having an ‘infectious brand personality’ with over 440 stores, mainly in southern Africa.

“As a business based in the southern hemisphere, we’re able to offer Australians a relevant, seasonal and trend-led assortment,” MRP chief executive Stuart Bird said.

“While initially we will focus on our MRP apparel stores, there is potential to follow with our MRPHome and MRPSport divisions.”
