Zara-fying your closet!



So the new ZARA store opened to the public in Delhi on Friday,29th of May.


The store is located on the ground floor of Select City Walk, Saket. If you're entering from the Haagan Dazs  walkway, you cant miss it! It's three stores long and five stores broad. Just like every other ZARA outlet in the world.

Designed along the lines of retail outlets like Marks & Spencers, Macys, Mango and our desi Pantaloons etc, the store caters to everyone - men , women and children.


From shoes, accessories and apparel  to funky stuff like junk jewelry and hats, their  merchandise is vibrant, fun and surprisingly reasonable!


Though Zara is a Spanish brand ( most people think its Middle Eastern), it has done exceptionally well in the Eastern half of the world. The west hasn't responded to the brand and its offerings that passionately. 





Speculation about the brand's success quotient was a plenty when the store launch was announced six months ago. Everybody was trying to figure out if it would sink or rise to be an Olympic champion. 


Most reviewers contemplated that the pricing of Zara's merchandise in India would be higher than the average in the States and the Middle East, since its competing with brands like Aldo, Nine West, Mango, Ed Hardy and Ralph Lauren ( Polo Club). 
These gorgeous patent beige peep toes (pumps) are a DIRT CHEAP Rs 4000/- ONLY ! (I tried my very best to not melt)
Here is the perfect example of the basic beige pump that every woman must own! 


But for all us budget friendly fashionistas, GREAT NEWS! The store isn't even Kazo or Kimaya expensive! Its your regular slightly more reasonable than Aldo expensive! 
And the collection they've got for their launch is quite yummy!



Though, I must warn you, from fear of being trampled by the hundreds of excited shoppers - men, women, aunties, uncles, kids and various others :P, go with your shopping tools in handy - your credit card, your best friend and you wits ! 


Crazy psychedelic colors in shoes have come a Zara trademark! 




Its a completely fun experience shopping at Zara, though a little crazy for the first few weeks.
Happy Shopping!!
