Island update
As part of its programme of European expansión, GUESS opened its first Lanzarote shop in the Biosfera Shopping Centre in Puerto Del Carmen.
The 89 m2 shop typifies the elegant design of GUESS shops with emphasis placed on symmetry and tasteful lighting, with warm, inviting décor, dark-wood shelves, and glass permitting the customer to browse and appreciate each item in the various GUESS lines in as much detail as they wish.
And the centrepiece of each display will, of course, be GUESS’s famous accessories collection – bags, shoes, sunglasses, watches and jewellery.

The first SARA Fashion Show was held on Saturday November 19th in the The Salon Belingo at Hotel Jameos Playa Los Pocillos in Puerto del Carmen. The evening was a great success and everyone who attended said what a
wonderful evening it was ! and we have to give a big thank you to the hotel for all their support in allowing us the use of two such wonderful venues! the evening started with a short film about Sara and all the fine work they do and then promptly at 8.00 p.m the show started. The models all looked simply stunning and people were amazed at the quality of the clothes that models wore ..so don’t forget SARA every second Saturday of the month where you can find some fabulous bargains…… Second hand is not second best.
The Fashion Show ended with all the models coming out for a final parade accompanied by Mrs Pamela Toledo Padron, who organized the event, flanked by two handsome men in evening dress. The whole evening was compered by another of the organizers, Linda Mahady and also another organizer Linda who worked behind the scenes. Thanks also to all the SARA volunteers who toiled behind the scenes.
The evening then carried on in The Salon Lanzarote where a SARA shop was created to sell all manner of clothes, shoes, handbags – all priced from €1 – 10 only ! All in all the evening was a huge success and €1.546.40 was raised for the SARA animal shelter, but if all 250 tickets had sold the amount would have been even more impressive – so keep your eyes open for future SARA fashion events and don’t miss out on the bargains!

However, the old-style note still remains in circulation and can be used normally until further notice.
