Which Spanish company owns the fashion brand Zara?

Inditex owns the Spanish fashion brand Zara.

Inditex is short for Industria de Diseño Textil, S.A., a Spanish multinational founded by entrepreneur Amancio Ortega and Rosalia Mera. Its headquarters are in Arteixo, Galicia, near A Coruña. Zara began as a retail chain before becoming the best-known brand in the wider Inditex group.

Zara is not the same company as H&M, Uniqlo, or Mango. Those are separate fashion retailers, while Inditex operates a portfolio that has also included brands such as Pull&Bear, Massimo Dutti, Bershka, Stradivarius, Oysho, and Zara Home.

A related fact readers often ask about is Zara’s origin: Ortega opened the first Zara store in A Coruña in 1975. Inditex was later created as the corporate group coordinating the brand’s design, manufacturing, distribution, and retail operations.
