Bershka is a leading international fashion retailer that specializes in the 'fast-fashion' market, specifically targeting young urban consumers. Established in April 1998, the brand has grown significantly and contributes approximately 10% of the total revenue for its parent conglomerate. Its business model relies on rapid trend cycles, with the ability to bring new designs from conception to store shelves in as little as two weeks.

While the brand is headquartered in Tordera, Spain, its manufacturing is highly decentralized across a global supply chain. Roughly 50-60% of production follows a 'proximity sourcing' strategy, where items are manufactured in countries near Spain—such as Portugal, Morocco, and Turkey—to facilitate quick turnaround times for the European market. High-volume and more complex items are typically sourced from suppliers in Asian countries, including China, Bangladesh, and Vietnam.

Ownership of Bershka rests with Inditex (Industria de Diseño Textil, S.A.), the world's largest fashion retail group. Inditex was co-founded by Amancio Ortega and Rosalía Mera. As of 2026, the company continues to expand Bershka's physical presence worldwide, including significant new entries into the United States market with physical stores planned for major cities like Miami.
