Which Spanish retail group owns the fashion brand Zara?

Inditex is the Spanish retail group that owns the fashion brand Zara.

The company was founded by Amancio Ortega and Rosalía Mera and grew from the Zara business, whose first store opened in A Coruña, Spain, in 1975. Inditex became a multinational group operating several fashion brands and large international store networks.

Zara is its best-known brand and helped popularize a fast-fashion model built around frequent product changes, responsive supply chains, and relatively short design-to-store cycles. Inditex also owns brands such as Massimo Dutti, Pull&Bear, Bershka, Stradivarius, Oysho, and Zara Home.

Zara and Inditex are not interchangeable names: Zara is one consumer-facing brand, while Inditex is the parent company. This distinction is useful when identifying ownership rather than the store brand seen by shoppers.
