Does G-Star Raw have genuine sales, or is the discount off an inflated price?

It varies by item, and the gap can be wide. Across the 34 G-Star Raw deals we have tracked long enough to judge, the typical badge is 50% off, but measured against the price the item actually holds, the median real saving is R0 (0%). The rest of that percentage is calculated off a was-price we have not seen the item reach. We show both numbers on every deal so the badge does not do the deciding.

What is the biggest genuine G-Star Raw price drop SaleDrop has recorded?

Right now the deepest genuine G-Star Raw saving we are showing is 36% below the usual price: G-Star Women's Pointelle Knitted Dark Black Sweater, now R899 against the R1,399 it usually sells at. That is measured off the price the item genuinely held, not the advertised was-price.

How many G-Star Raw deals is SaleDrop tracking right now?

We are tracking 34 G-Star Raw deals at 50% or more off, priced from R899 to R3,649, up to 55% off. Of those, 34 have enough recorded history for us to judge the saving, and 20 are at the lowest price we have on record.

How do I know if a G-Star Raw deal is actually a good price?

Ignore the percentage badge and look at two figures we record: the lowest price we have ever seen the item at, and the price it usually holds. If the current price is at or near that recorded low and clearly below the usual price, the saving is real. Our method is on the how-we-verify page.

How G-Star Raw sales really work

G-Star Raw is a premium denim and apparel brand, so prices start higher and a genuine sale carries a bigger rand saving than the value chains. The flip side is that an inflated was-price looks more impressive on a pricier item, so it pays to check the history.

The honest deals tend to be on previous-season denim and jackets being cleared, where the recorded low sits well below the usual price. We keep both figures next to each deal so a big percentage can be judged on what the item really cost.

Judge G-Star deals on the rand saving versus the usual price, since base prices are high.
Outerwear and signature denim give the deepest genuine clearances.
A was-price above anything we have recorded is a reason to judge the saving against the recorded low and usual price, since we cannot confirm a price we have not seen.
