Miami International Mall

Out with the old, and in with the new… New summer wardrobe, here we come and welcome H&M at International Mall!

Set your calendars and get ready to shop! H&M, the affordable and fashionable retailer, will be opening its doors to a second Miami store located in the heart of Doral.

The new H&M located in Miami International Mall will open its doors to the public Thursday, May 29 at noon. This 22,000 square ft. H&M at International Mall will offer their regular collections for ladies, men, and will also include a separate “store within store” section for accessories, lingerie, sports apparel, even kids and newborns!

Hennes & Mauritz AB (H&M), is one of the world’s largest retailers and they believe that fashion should both look good and do good! And in efforts to do good, the company is the first in the fashion industry to roll out a global garment recycling program.

How will this affect you? On your way to Miami International Mall, bag a few unwanted pieces of clothing from any brand and bring them with you to donate. This will help save natural resources and contribute to a reduced environmental impact. Oh, did I mention you’ll also receive a voucher for 15% off your entire purchase for each donated bag of clothing?

Start the spring cleaning today and bring your unwanted garments tomorrow! Come early as the first 100 shoppers in line will receive an H&M t-shirt and Access to Fashion Pass, valued from $10 – $300, in addition to other fantastic offers for the whole family! See you there!
