Dubai’s Mall of the Emirates is Home to the First Zara Collective Café

Spanish fashion powerhouse Zara has unveiled its most lavish Middle Eastern outpost yet with the reopening of its flagship store at Dubai's Mall of the Emirates. Completely redesigned over the past five months, alongside expanded collections for men, women and home, the fashion destination has been transformed into the new Zara Collective Café - the very first in the entire world.

Having just opened its renovated doors this November 16th, the luxe café is a refined, minimalist space to relax in a calm ambiance within the earth-toned flagship store. Drawing from curated pieces in Zara Home's collections, the café offers coffee, tea and light pastries and desserts featuring the brand's logo lusciously emblazoned in buttercream icing.

The store is designed to significantly reduce energy and water consumption, adding an eco-conscious layer to the avant-garde shopping (and now, ‘café-faire’) experience. Moreover, the enlarged flagship store dedicates space to artistic performances, showcasing Zara's evolution into a space that goes beyond traditional retail.

With an innovative blend of style and - albeit light - sustenance, the Zara Collective Café provides a moment of repose amid the bustling energy of Dubai's iconic shopping scene.
