Zara mysteries keep popping up during shopping trips in Inditex stores. Details on labels and garments can easily be overlooked, and the best source to learn them is the store staff who know every little thing about the products.
These staff members are true experts on all the product details and can guide shoppers with clarity. Miriam Cava from Murcia is known for sharing practical tips in her TikTok videos, where she has built a following of more than twenty thousand. In her clips, she reveals small tricks to maximize the Zara experience.
Her latest tips video inspired a concise summary below.
Zara footwear and bag packaging
When purchasing shoes or bags from Zara, customers often receive a white tote bag bearing the logo. If a return is requested, the bag does not need to be returned. Miriam notes: “Keep the bag for personal use. Replacing it is wasteful.” Many shoppers assume returns are impossible without the bag, but that is not the case, and refunds proceed without it.
The tote bag is frequently repurposed for storing shoes and bags, but it also works well for transporting clothes, travel accessories, makeup, or even dirty laundry. The benefits are plentiful, and the best part is that returning the bag is unnecessary.
Table signage for jeans and trousers
When browsing Zara trousers, there is no need to inspect each pair individually. A small sign on the table provides all the essentials: model name, rise (high, mid, or low), fit, and length. The names of Zara jeans can be memorable, with labels like Wide Leg, Cropped, Marine Straight, Sculpt, Mom Fit, and Carrot. These posters help shoppers quickly identify a suitable style.
Having the signage to reference helps streamline the decision process and reduces guesswork when selecting the right garment.
Garment stripes
The famous stripes hanging from some garments are not accidental. Miriam explains they are placed to attach garments to hangers and prevent them from falling. They serve a practical purpose, though they can be noticeable and clash with the look of the outfit while wearing it.

Label symbols
In the past, many shoppers puzzled over label symbols. Today they are simple: squares, circles, and triangles indicate different sections of the store. Store staff use these marks to locate items; they do not affect the shopping experience for customers.
