What is the name of Zara's parent company?

Zara’s parent company is Inditex.

Inditex is short for Industria de Diseño Textil, S.A., a Spanish multinational fashion group headquartered in Arteixo, Galicia. Zara is its flagship brand, but the group also operates labels including Bershka, Pull&Bear, Massimo Dutti, Stradivarius, Oysho, and Zara Home.

The relationship is sometimes misunderstood: Zara is not the name of the whole corporate group. It is one retail chain within Inditex’s portfolio. Inditex was established in 1985 as a holding company for Zara and its manufacturing operations, a decade after the first Zara store opened.

Zara’s growth helped Inditex become one of the world’s largest fashion retailers. The group’s model links trend monitoring, design, production, logistics, and stores, allowing many products to move from idea to shop floor faster than in traditional seasonal fashion. Inditex became publicly traded in 2001, expanding access to the company’s shares beyond its original owners.
