Zalando – A Haven for Discovering New Shoe Brands
It’s not often that I find myself browsing a website and discovering so many new brands that I feel like kid in a sweet shop. That’s exactly the feeling I had when I discovered Zalando.
Founded in Germany, where they are the second best-known brand in the country after Volkswagen, Zalando are going from strength to strength and becoming very successful in a host of European countries. Their success could be attributed to their amazing range of shoes on offer, including many local brands.
Take for example, the footwear brand S.Oliver. It’s a brand I’d personally never heard of before but one that I’ll remember. The very on-trend ankle boot below only retails for £60 with Free Delivery. A bargain!
Although their primary focus might be on footwear, Zalando also offer a good range of men’s clothing items. From brands you’ll recognise, such as Levi’s and Diesel, to their own unique ‘Zalando Collection’, this online outlet offers an excellent selection of basic menswear items, as well as a superb premium range.
Zalando are now taking off in the UK, helped by some very amusing TV (example here). The reason I think they’ll go down a storm is that they not only promote a wide range of UK brands like H By Hudson, but they expose us to European brands we’d never likely come across. Oh, and the fact they offer free delivery and free returns!
