About Us

Kirna = Sarah a college nickname that means nothing. It just stuck. Zabete = Beth, a French nickname acquired during a semester in Paris where she was the teacher's pet.

Sarah and Beth met during their first week, at the University of Virginia where they "tied for best dressed" in their class. They also became best friends, joined Kappa and lived in the sorority house! It was too girly so they moved to Paris. After graduation they both headed to New York City. Sarah worked for fabulous,French designers. Christian Dior,Ines de la Fressange,Christian Lacroix. Beth worked for fabulous fashion magazines. First at Mirabella then, New York Magazine as a Fashion Editor. They both learned about the very, very "glamorous" world of fashion.

Finally at 27 years old, they decided shopping in New York City wasn't good enough. In August 1999 they opened Kirna Zabete. Thank you! You love it. Everyone came, and shopped, and came back for more. Sarah and Beth are still mad about fashion, so much so that they are launching www.kirnazabete.com in June 2008. Just another way to share the joy, and spread the "dress fabulous feeling” around the planet.
