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

History

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

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

In February 2019, Pull&Bear joined forces with the sports brand Umbro to launch a line of sportswear products in a joint partnership.

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

Description

Pull&Bear specialises in manufacturing and selling urban-style clothing and accessories. The brand uses US popular culture in its product design.

New product lines introduced in shops 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 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.
