H&M, short for Hennes & Mauritz, is a global fashion giant originating from Sweden. Founded by Erling Persson in 1947, the brand initially began as a women’s clothing store called 'Hennes' before acquiring the hunting apparel retailer Mauritz Widforss in 1968, leading to the creation of the brand as it is known today.

H&M's manufacturing strategy relies on an extensive network of independent suppliers rather than owning its own factories. These denim products are typically produced in countries with large textile industries, including Bangladesh, China, Cambodia, and Turkey. The brand focuses on fast-fashion cycles and accessibility, maintaining a presence in virtually every major global market.

The H&M brand remains under the ownership of the H&M Group (H & M Hennes & Mauritz AB), which is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden. The founding Persson family continues to hold a significant stake and leadership roles within the company, steering its commitment to sustainability and digital transformation in the modern retail landscape.
