ZARA As The Flagship

In our brand map, ZARA sits at the center as the flagship, strategically connected to every other tier in the portfolio. On its official description, ZARA is a “forward-thinking force in fashion” with designers who respond instinctively to changing customer needs, using constant feedback to deliver new ideas at the right time and place, which cements its role as the main entry point into the group.

Youth And Streetwear Tier

Branching left from ZARA, the Youth & Streetwear level groups Pull&Bear, Bershka, and Stradivarius, each targeting a different side of youth culture. Pull&Bear is described as dressing young people who “flee from stereotypes,” combining the latest international trends with streetstyle and club influences to create comfortable, easy-to-wear garments, distributed through an integrated platform present in more than 200 markets via stores and online.

Bershka “lives at the intersection of technology, music, and social networking,” designed to connect in-the-know urban youth with emerging trends through immersive, experiential stores. Within Bershka, there are three main linesBershka for girls, Bershka for boys, and teen line BSK – which together cover everyday looks and special trend pieces while keeping one cohesive brand universe.

Premium With Massimo Dutti And Uterqüe

On the premium side of the map, Massimo Dutti stands as the elevated fashion pillar of INDITEX. Officially, the brand “epitomizes a rarefied vision of natural elegance” and creates sophisticated fashion for urbane, independent people, spanning from highly refined tailored lines to relaxed pieces with timeless style.

Former brand Uterqüe now exists as a line within Massimo Dutti, rather than a standalone label. INDITEX indicated in its non-financial and strategy documents that Uterqüe would be integrated into Massimo Dutti over the course of 2022, consolidating premium accessories and special pieces into Massimo Dutti to focus on one stronger global name instead of two overlapping offers.

Specialized Lifestyle And Value Brands

On the right side of the map, the Specialized pillar combines Oysho, Zara Home, and Lefties to extend the portfolio beyond everyday apparel. Oysho is defined as an international “sport and leisure brand” that offers a wide variety of technical collections designed for maximum performance and comfort during sports, alongside free-time collections built around functionality and versatility for an active lifestyle.

Zara Home “infuses sophisticated and timeless design” into products that elevate everyday living, with ranges covering bedding, table and bath linens, furniture, tableware, cutlery, decorative items, loungewear, a kids collection, and home fragrances, making it a full interiors and lifestyle concept. Lefties “brings fashion closer to everyone” through an accessible offer of contemporary, essential, and timeless pieces across Woman, Man, Teen Girl, Kids, Baby, Newborn, Home, Accessories, and Footwear, positioned as the budget or entry-level brand that keeps more price-sensitive shoppers within the INDITEX world.

How The Architecture Fits Together

Across this architecture, each INDITEX brand keeps its own identity while operating on a shared platform that serves customers in over 200 markets worldwide. That integrated structure allows ZARA, Pull&Bear, Massimo Dutti, Bershka, Stradivarius, Oysho, Zara Home, and Lefties to move quickly from design to delivery while targeting specific lifestyles, ages, and price points, following shoppers from their teenage wardrobes to professional life and into their homes.
