In what year did Zara launch its homeware sub-brand? Zara launched its homeware sub-brand, Zara Home, in 2003.
Zara Home began in August 2003 with its first store in Marbella, Spain. Unlike Zara's main fashion business, the brand focuses on home textiles and decoration, including bedding, tableware, furniture, accessories and bathroom products. It became another major retail format within Inditex's growing portfolio of specialist brands.
The date is sometimes confused with later milestones. Zara Home launched online sales in 2007, becoming the first Inditex brand to operate an online store. In 2005 it added Zara Home Kids, a children-focused product line. Thus 2003 refers to the launch of the homeware brand itself, not its internet expansion or a later international development.
