SPOTLIGHT ON THE HISTORY OF ZARA:
Zara opened its first store in 1975, in a street in the city centre of La Coruna (NW Spain) although its origin goes back to 1963 when Confecciones Goa was created.
Nowadays, Zara has a forceful presence in 77 countries with more than 1,700 stores and sales amounting more than 8 billion euros in 2010.
Zara's business model is unique, comprising each and every stage of the fashion retail business: design, manufacture, distribution and sale. Zara's team of designers, made up of more than 200 professionals, continuously assessing the customers' preferences, wishes and demands offering each year comprised some 18,000 different models for sale in its stores.
The availability of the factories owned by the company, together with a wide range of highly experienced external suppliers who have a solid commercial relationship with the format, allow Zara to manufacture a model and to have it for sale in its stores worldwide within the average term of approximately two weeks. Garments, both the in-house manufactured and those purchased from external suppliers, arrive at the hubs Zara has in Spain, wherefrom they are dispatched to the stores worldwide. Clothes are dispatched twice a week, and this frequency allows a continual renewal of its fashion offer.
