Oysho

Oysho was launched in 2001 as part of the Inditex group, the Spanish retail conglomerate that also owns Zara, Bershka and Massimo Dutti. The brand grew out of Inditex's push to diversify beyond its core fashion lines, starting with lingerie and expanding a few years later into sportswear, which has since become its dominant category alongside beachwear and homewear. Oysho is headquartered in Tordera, a town in Barcelona province, consistent with the brand's association with the city. As of recent counts it operates roughly 457 stores, averaging about 450 square meters each, across more than 40 markets globally, in addition to online sales. As with other Inditex brands, Oysho's identity is built more around the group's design and retail infrastructure than around a single storefront or founder story.
