Did You Know About The Zara Outlet Store?

ZARA has an outlet store.To those living in Spain, Lefties is a familiar name that's been in operation since 1993, selling Zara's leftover last-season pieces, but Inditex - the Spanish company that owns Zara - hopes to raise its profile by redesigning and increasing the number of stores.

Inditex is rebranding Lefties (a name derived from the term left-overs) into a budget fashion powerhouse that's set to rival H&M and Primark, with prices 30 per cent lower than Zara.In recent months, the layouts of the label's stores have been improved, with better lighting and television screens showing off new collections, while new designers, pattern-makers and buyers have been recruited to work on the brand's aesthetic.While Inditex has been closing some of its Zara stores, it has been steadily increasing the number of Lefties outlets over the past two years.Unfortunately, a Zara spokesperson told us that there are no plans for the label to open in the UK at present.

"I think it's only a matter of time before Inditex treats it as a separate brand and breaks out its figures," Carlos Hernandez, from retail consultancy Planet Retail, told Reuters, as reported by The Telegraph."I think they could export the brand to other countries where Inditex has a large presence like the UK and Germany.Spain is not the only country where the economic crisis has taken its toll."
