Zara, Right In Your Living Room

Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.

We always get a chuckle when companies announce they'll be launching e-commerce, as if this was 1998 and we're all so amazed by the technology and abilities of The Internet. We welcome Zara to this new Age of Technology, since they have scheduled the launch of their US e-shop for September 7. We're actually excited to buy affordable, trendy pieces online, or at least to be able to preview-shop prices and such before trekking to an actual brick-and-mortar store to touch fabrics and try things on (when will technology finally conquer these problems?).
