Massimo Dutti

Fashion brand acquired by iditex

Summary

Massimo Dutti is a Spanish brand that is part of the Inditex group. The modest label was founded in 1985 in Barcelona as a menswear brand before adding womenswear in 1995. Available worldwide, Massimo Dutti is known for its elegant style, delivering classic menswear with rich materials and contemporary fits. ‘Massimo Dutti’ however is a trademark and not the name of a designer!

History

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. Personal tailoring, womenswear, kidswear, accessories and also fragrance marketed by Puig were added to the mix. From the sophistication of personal tailoring with a selection of fabrics such as cotton, hundred per cent wool and cashmere to the timeless style of the collections, Massimo Dutti appeals to urbane, independent men and women and has seven hundred and eighty one stores in seventy-five countries.

In alignment with its social responsibility, the fashion brand works on social rehabilitation and professional placement programmes for people with mental or physical disabilities. What’s more, Massimo Dutti has three stores in Spain providing work to persons with disability.
