Recently recognised as one of the most popular ecommerce sites in the Middle East, leading online fashion destination, Namshi.com, has announced the opening of a new and expanded warehouse facility in order to accommodate its ever-increasing growth in orders.

Eight times larger and with the capability to house 1.7million additional stock items, the leading e-commerce retailer’s new warehouse in the UAE ensures Namshi.com offers its customers the brand’s trademark next day delivery service throughout the UAE, while allowing it to process 30,000 products every day.

“Following robust growth across both our e-commerce and m-commerce platforms, it was essential that Namshi’s inventory and overall product offering increased in line with demand for our services. As such, we have invested in a significantly larger space, allowing us to feature more great fashion brands on the site. This in turn ensures that we always provide our customers with the best possible online shopping experience, and we will continue to invest in infrastructure and logistics support to maximize our capability to perform as a leading online retailer.” said Hosam Arab, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Namshi.

The e-commerce retailer’s new facility measures 50,000 square feet, and is capable of housing over 30,000 styles of apparel, accessories, and footwear from an extensive range of international high street and designer brands for women, men and children.

The fashion powerhouse has also heavily invested in its photography and imagery department, in order to ensure that the turnaround time between the arrival of new products and their feature on the site is less than 48 hours. On average, Namshi photographs between 150 – 250 new products every day, uploads 800 – 1000 new products each week and books 20 new models to showcase these items every month. In addition to the brand’s state-of-the-art photography studios, which produce all imagery for the website, Namshi also has a resident hair and make-up artist on-hand for all shoots.
