Zara Launching Online Store in Fall 2010

Good news and bad news. The good news is that Zara is launching an online store in fall 2010 but the bad news is it will start in markets like Spain, France, Italy, Germany, the U.K. and Portugal, then followed by a progressive rollout in other countries. No US again, we’ll just have to sit tight and wait…again! Well at least that’s a start with online retailing, hopefully it will be introduced in the US soon.

According to WWD, the decision to make Zara available online has been praised as a logical step for the Spanish company, given the rising competition from pure-play European clothing e-tailers like Asos as well as the growing online operations of rivals such as H&M and New Look.

“The strategic move online is a welcome development for its core Zara fascia that will help boost group sales, making Inditex less reliant on new space to drive sales growth,” according to retail intelligence firm Verdict Research.

    This is great. There’s only one Zara’s here in Houston and it’s at the Galleria. I live about an hour away from it.

  2. Amelie says:

    ^^^finally… just hope they’ll sell pcs they carry abroad for Ecom. Everyone whos traveled outside the US knows that ZARA;s away is much better than here!

  3. Amelie says:

    clearing i read so fast and didnt see they’re not yet launching in the US

    I don’t like the way Zara stores are set up around where I live, and I always want to leave before I find anything good. I wish we could get it online sooner!

  5. Ally says:

    AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH so f-ing excited. It’s about time!! No Zara where I live.

  6. Ally says:

    aww f I missed the no US part til now. Why do you continue to hurt me Zara? why?

    Hope, it will not reflect on the prices – I have to admit, since the start of the craises their prices have risen a lot.

    And, furthermore, according to that national money in Russia has fallen down to euro, ZARA things now in Russia are absolutely not cheap ones. Sometimes they are expensive.

  8. Vera says:

    And I hardly understand the need of ZARA online shops in Spain – they are nearly at the every corner!

    Hello. Love your blog, but there are some things I don’t like to read…

    I just don’t understand why you guys are so obssessed with yourselfs, like if you don’t have access to almost everything. I mean, you live in the US! In Portugal and Spain we don’t have a Zara in every corner…that maybe true in major cities, Lisbon, Oporto, Madrid, Barcelona, Seville…and if you had the possibility of living here for a while, you would realize that we don’t have access to all. Ebay, just to mention one example: we can hardly get anything from there because most tuff is not available for coutries outside the US, and if they are probably we will pay a fortune on shipping. But I thing I would not prefer to live outside Europe…I love Europe, eheheh

    So, I think you should consider yourself lucky to have Zara stores in the US ;)

    Love your blog, keep up the good work. Greetings from Portugal

    Richie =)

  11. Rita Andrade says:

  12. T.Linh says:

    BRILLIANT news

  14. ana says:

    I agree with you Richie. Altough I live in Spain, there is no Zara in my city/island, the nearest one is… 50 min flying away. So this is a good news for me!

  15. Babs says:

    I wonder when they will have ZARA in Sydney Australia.

    • veronica says:

      I have just come back from my holiday in Europe and bought heaps of Zara clothing also cannot wait for a store to open in Sydney would be great

    I am so angry at this company for not having their products available online. It's like an invisible company, you go to their website and can't order stuff nor find out where a store is located. I have one pair of pants that were given to me by a friend and that's it because it's impossible to get them. I'm turning 18 and I just wanted some more of their clothing for my birthday but I guess that's not going happen.

  17. Julie says:

    Please bring Zara to AUSTRALIA!!!!!

    Pretty,Pretty Please!!!!!
