For a few days now, Zara's labels have been one of the star topics on social networks. The reason for so much commotion is the appearance of some geometric symbols that change depending on the garment, but whose meaning was unknown until now.

One of the main hypotheses explained that it was a way to save time in stores, since according to the sign it would be indicating if the size is more or less, which would make it easier to calculate if the clothes fit us well or not.

However, it has been the shop assistants themselves who have denied this option and have revealed the original meaning of the labels.

According to the Zara shop assistants, this code of symbols is a way of facilitating the work of the shop assistants themselves when it comes to putting the clothes back in their place.

Thus, the triangle indicates Trafaluc, the circle indicates the Woman collection, and the square the Basics collection. So the workers know where each item of clothing has to go.

The shop assistants have revealed the mystery through the Instagram post of Carmenon, author of the blog Devil wears Zara, where she had exposed the possible hypotheses about the signs and that she updated after several workers confessed the true meaning of the labels.
