Inditex Membership
Inditex is one of the world's largest fashion retailers, with eight brands (Zara, Pull&Bear, Massimo Dutti, Bershka, Stradivarius, Oysho, Zara Home and Uterqe) selling in 202 markets through its online platform or its over 7,000 stores in 96 markets.
Inditex came a long way since 1963, with a small family business in a workshop making women's clothing.
By working closely together as a single company globally focused on the key elements of fashion production –design, manufacture, distribution and retail– Inditex brought customers closer than ever to the products they wanted at affordable prices.
The success of our first brand –Zara was followed by international expansion at the end of the 1980s and the successive launch of new brands, that now have an integrated model of stores and online.
