To the left(ies), to the left(ies)

In Spain, Inditex is a mega-company that owns some of the biggest fast fashion brands. These are fashion brands that are renowned the world over, including Zara, Massimo Dutti, Pull & Bear, Stradivarius, among others.

These brands are well-known in the Philippines as well. Personally, my closet has smattering of pieces from these brands - some bought abroad, some bought here.

But among Inditex's portfolio of brands, there's one that's not as well-known in the Philippines. Among its brands, this is actually their most affordable line, similar to what G.U. is to Uniqlo. That brand is Lefties.


Needless to say, I discovered this brand during one of my trips to Spain. And walking into their store felt like walking into Penshoppe or Bench in the Philippines. Lots of fashionable and trendy basics, and the prices were uber affordable. 

Think shirts for 3 Euros.

Now, why did I suddenly remember this brand? While looking for a pair of chinos in my closet, there was this pair of jeans hidden in the leftmost part, hidden behind my suits and jackets. It was a pair of Lefites jeans from more than a decade ago.

Looking at it, the pair still looked updated and current, and is still very much wearable now. So, even after that long period of time, this Lefties is still right.
