Acquisition and ownership

Inditex acquired a majority stake in Stradivarius in 1999 (initial 90% purchase) and completed full ownership later, integrating the label into its global brand portfolio; today Stradivarius operates as an Inditex subsidiary. (en.wikipedia.org)

Manufacturing and sourcing

Products sold under the Stradivarius brand are produced across Inditex’s global supplier network rather than in a single country. Inditex uses a cluster strategy with significant production in Spain and nearby countries (Portugal, Morocco, Turkey) alongside manufacturing in Asian markets (e.g., Bangladesh, India, China) and others, so Stradivarius merchandise is sourced from multiple countries.
