Cara Ldn

Cara Ldn, fashion and footwear based in Dublin

Cara Ldn is an online fashion store operating from Dublin (Ireland) that sells footwear and clothing for women and men. Its catalogue is organised into two main sections — women and men — and covers categories such as footwear, dresses, outerwear, knitwear, trousers, co-ord sets and accessories. The company presents itself as a project focused on women's footwear design, with attention to detail and quality, and maintains that shoes are the focal point of any outfit.

Footwear: boots, sandals and trainers

The footwear section is the most developed part of the catalogue. The women's section includes boots, sandals, trainers, loafers and flats, as well as heels. The men's section offers loafers, boots and trainers. The company has launched a standout line of zip boots, presented on the site as "Zip Boots: Now live", and groups part of its offering under headings such as winter boots, day-to-day essentials and occasion shoes. It also sells insoles, an accessory aimed at comfort within footwear.

Dresses and outerwear

In women's, the dress offering is divided into mini dresses, midi dresses and maxi dresses. Outerwear includes coats and jackets, tops and blouses, knitwear, blazers, trousers, hoodies and sweatshirts, and co-ord sets. Among the recent releases shown on the site were a women's short trench coat, cropped double-breasted belted coat, a women's belted cape jacket, stand collar wrap coat, a women's hooded puffer coat, long padded coat with faux fur trim, and a women's high neck cropped jacket, button-front wool-look coat. The prices indicated for these garments ranged from £39.95 to £64.95.

Men's collection

The men's section replicates the category structure with footwear, outerwear, coats and jackets, blazers, tops, shirts, T-shirts and polos, hoodies and sweatshirts, knitwear, trousers, shorts and co-ord sets. Men's footwear is limited to loafers, boots and trainers. The company also maintains sections for new in, best sellers and sale for both audiences.

Accessories and complements

The accessories catalogue includes bags, jewellery, sunglasses and insoles. These items are presented as complements to the footwear and clothing collections, in both the women's and men's sections.
