AKA Patrick VDV
Driving Value, Integrity, and Global Change at VDV Commerce
VDV Commerce was founded by Patrick Leon Van Der Vyver based on a commitment to fairness. The origin story is simple:
"I was ready to buy a stylish watch priced around R500, only to discover the markup was absolutely crazy. That disconnect—the huge price difference between the cost and the retail price—felt fundamentally unfair."
This realization sparked a mission: disrupt the traditional markup model.
Patrick built VDV Commerce to offer high-quality products at a fraction of the cost, ensuring genuine, unbeatable value. But the vision extends far beyond pricing: VDV Commerce is committed to becoming a new standard in retail—a dominant global force that operates with integrity.
Our Ethical Commitment:
Fair Compensation: Ensuring our future employees are always paid a true livable wage.
Social Good: Using our success to support global and local charitable initiatives.
Shared Success: Our revolutionary 10% Affiliate Program ensures our customers are our partners, sharing directly in the financial success of the brand.
"We believe you shouldn't have to choose between getting unbeatable value and supporting an ethical business. VDV Commerce proves you can do both."
