Expanding with Kids

Straight from Poland, the fashion brand RESERVED landed in Israel in 2018, and the rest is history. RESERVED is considered one of the fastest-growing brands globally, with 500 stores across Europe and the Middle East. The first to recognize its potential was businessman Tzvika Livnat, co-owner of H&O Group, the brand’s importer. Livnat read an article directed at analysts detailing the brand's growth and saw investing in it as a promising opportunity when the group was looking to bring an international brand to Israel.

RESERVED’s success can be attributed to its trendy designs, quality fabrics, and affordable prices. Recently, a flagship store was opened in Azrieli Mall (Malha) in Jerusalem, marking the first branch that also offers children's fashion.

The new store features a concept developed by the international architecture team of the group, including modern furnishings, unique lighting, and clothes displayed according to collections updated weekly. The brand’s core values, such as sustainability, creativity, and variety, are evident. The current collection includes long dresses, shirts, pants, and more in colors like white, camel, coral, light blue, and combinations of blue and white or coral and white, along with jeans and accessories like flip-flops and straw bags.

Tzvika Rosenthal, CEO of Azrieli Mall Jerusalem, said: "We are proud of the opening of the fifth RESERVED branch, adding to our business mix. We will continue to innovate and bring leading stores and brands to the mall, creating a diverse mix of stores for all ages." Yossi Malka, CEO of H&O Group, added: "Israel has a thirst for a desirable international brand that updates frequently, aligns with global trends at attractive prices, and RESERVED meets this need. Our entry into Jerusalem marks a trend of growth and expansion."
