Zara Tag "Hack" Debunked: Employees Clarify Symbol Meanings

A recent viral video on social media platform TikTok, uploaded by user @miriamayet, claimed to reveal a hidden "hack" regarding Zara clothing tags. The video, which has garnered significant attention, suggested that symbols such as a square, circle, and triangle on garment labels indicate how the clothing will fit. According to the TikTok user, a square symbol signifies that the fabric has no stretch and will maintain its original shape. A circle, she asserted, indicates that the material is stretchy and may result in a looser fit. Lastly, a triangle was presented as a sign of elastic fabric designed for a snug fit. However, this popular "hack" has been widely refuted by individuals identifying themselves as current or former Zara employees in the comments section of the video. Multiple comments clarify that these symbols do not relate to fabric stretch or fit. Instead, they are internal codes used by Zara to categorize clothing into different sections within the store, such as "Trafaluc," "Women," or "Basic." This clarification suggests that while the video aimed to provide helpful shopping advice, the information shared was inaccurate.
