Pull&Bear (Spanish: [pul am ˈbeɾ]) is a Spanish clothing and accessories retailer based in Narón, A Coruña, Galicia, founded in 1991.[1] It is part of Inditex, owner of Zara and Bershka brands.

History[edit]

The chain was established in 1991 due to the diversification of Inditex's commercial objective, which at that time had only Zara stores. It started out as a brand only for the male public, but after a few years of its creation, it introduced a collection for girls in 1998 that has equaled the male line in sales.

In 2010, the brand introduced a new logo and rebranded its European stores.

In February 2019, Pull&Bear partnered with the sports brand Umbro to jointly launch a line of sportswear products.[2]

In March 2022, Pull&Bear ceased operations in Russia in support of Ukraine.[3]

Description[edit]

Pull&Bear specializes in manufacturing and selling urban style clothing and accessories.[4] The brand uses the US popular culture in its product design.

New product lines introduced in stores have diversified the range of products available in Pull&Bear outlets. These new lines include; music, technology, video games and video images mixed in with the clothing. Pull&Bear introduced the "XDYE" line in 1998, a more sporty and hi-tech line of clothes linked to the icons of 21st-century youth culture.
