What happens to the Zara clothes that don’t sell? This is one of the questions many consumers ask about the most recognized Spanish fashion brand in the world.
Although Zara manufactures a large quantity of clothing, over time it is inevitable that some garments will not sell and will end up in storage.
But what happens to these unsold garments? Are they disposed of or donated to charities?
A former Zara employee, known on social networks as @vistete1conmigo, has revealed that these garments have a specific destination, a Christmas market located in Arteixo, where only Inditex Group employees can access.
This flea market is a great opportunity for the company’s employees, who have the opportunity to purchase branded clothing at extremely low prices, from 1 to 5 euros.
This is a great opportunity for employees looking to save money and purchase quality garments at greatly reduced prices.
It is important to note that this flea market is not accessible to the general public, as only Inditex Group employees can access it.
In addition, this place is not a solution for the large amount of unsold clothing, as it is only held once a year and only the clothing that was not sold during the previous year is sold.
Zara’s clothes that do not sell
The brand’s policy is to sell its products at affordable prices, so the company cannot afford to donate or dispose of large quantities of unsold clothing.
In addition, it is also important to note that Zara has a policy of sustainability and social responsibility, which is why it seeks to reduce its environmental and social impact as much as possible in its business practices.
Another curiosity about the Zara brand is that its employees have a 25% discount on all purchases made in its stores throughout the year with no purchase limit.
Symbols on Zara labels
Zara is one of the most recognized brands in the fashion world that has its curiosities. Some of them are the symbols on the labels of their garments.
For example, the symbol “RN” means that the garment is made from recycled cotton and polyester, while the symbol “CU” indicates that the garment is made from sustainably grown cotton.
The symbol of a tree with a number indicates that the garment is part of Zara’s “Join Life” line, which focuses on sustainable materials and environmentally friendly production processes.
These symbols and labels enable informed shopping and also demonstrate Zara’s commitment to sustainability and the environment.
