Spanish brand Massimo Dutti transformed from its modest roots in Barcelona to stores worldwide. Owned by Inditex Group, it is a trademark and not the name of a design. Founded in 1985 by Armando Lasauca in Barcelona, Massimo Dutti began as a menswear brand. In 1991, Inditex — a Spanish multinational clothing firm which also owns Zara, Pull and Bear, Bershka, Stradivarius, Oysho, Zara Home and Uterqüe — purchased sixty- five per cent shares and subsequently bought out the company.

The stores have segregated spaces for its different product lines — Bershka, BSK and Man. Bershka focuses on denim, evening wear and casual wear for women while BSK has denim, sportswear and casual wear for teenagers.

At Oysho, the focus on sport and an active lifestyle motivates the core team to continue innovating and improving to always offer the best to their customers.

The technical apparel brand specializes in sports, lingerie, swimwear, beachwear and home-wear.

The group stated in a release that the purchase was due to the brand’s ‘good commercial positioning and growth potential.’ Its capacity to read the clients’ needs and continually evolve its collections is the key to its success.
