H&M T-shirt

H&M (Hennes & Mauritz AB) is a world-renowned Swedish multinational clothing retailer known for its fast-fashion clothing for men, women, teenagers, and children. The brand was founded in 1947 by Erling Persson in Västerås, Sweden, originally as 'Hennes' (Swedish for 'Hers'), and later became Hennes & Mauritz after acquiring the hunting apparel retailer Mauritz Widforss.

H&M does not own any factories; instead, it works with around 600 independent suppliers across the globe. Therefore, its products are manufactured in 'Multiple countries', predominantly in Asia and Europe, including China, Bangladesh, India, Turkey, and Cambodia. The company is characterized by its high-volume production and quick turnover of style trends.

Today, H&M is the flagship brand of the H&M Group, which remains headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden. The group has grown into one of the largest global fashion retailers, expanding its portfolio to include several other brands like COS, Monki, and & Other Stories, while maintaining ultimate ownership under the parent entity H&M Hennes & Mauritz AB.
