Good things come at a price, and Zara in Malad is proof of that. Samreen Samad tells you what to expect from the store
One of world’s most popular high street fashion brands, Zara, has recently opened a new store at Infinity 2 in Malad. This week-old store houses everything from blazers, dresses, tee shirts, shoes, handbags, jeans, trousers, knitwear and accessories for men, women and children.
Zara is actually a Spanish brand founded by Amancio Ortega and his then wife Rosalía Mera in 1975. Since then they have opened stores in over 73 countries and after its huge success at Palladium in Lower Parel, the brand comes to the other end of the city.
The store is massive and neatly divided into three sections — men, women and children. These sections are subdivided into party wear, formal-office wear and casuals. The store is very spacious and the neatly stocked pieces make shopping a hassle-free experience.
After the whole sale season, Zara has launched its new fall-winter collection which is quite trendy and international. We noticed a lot of bright colours and animal prints. The dresses are priced between `2,990 — `7,500 and are mostly in solid bright colours, which we love.
You will also find floral prints, polka dots and dainty symmetrical prints. We found the tee shirts a bit overpriced as a plain tank top will cost you around `1,390. So if you are not the type who pays only for the brand name don’t even bother looking at their tee shirt section. What we loved the most was their collection of formal wear. You will find stylish and sophisticated blazers, trousers and shirts. The fit, design and style get a ten on ten.
The collection is also very vast. So make sure you visit when you have a lot of time on your hands... and money too.
