Dubai is a city that takes dupe culture to a whole other level. Its latest victim? Zara.
The keen eyes of regional fashion lovers have found a handful of Dubai stores that sell Zara-esque pieces (often for a more affordable price). Meaning, you can lean into some of that coveted Zara charm whilst wearing something from lesser-known brands.
These Zara dupes are taking over your FYP faster than you can say “add to cart”, so get ready to shop and snag these must-haves before everyone else does.
LIME

Lime pieces have a quality that feels more premium than your usual Zara pieces, and they have plenty of modest options (which UAE always does best!). The prices varied, so there’s something for every budget. The pieces lean more toward neutrals than colours, with Zara’s signature feminine, classy silhouettes—basically everything that defines Dubai style.
