The founder of Zara Amancio Ortega opened first Zara store in 1975. The first Zara store was located on a central street in A Coruña. Upon the success of Zara format, the firm started to expand and opened further stores.
Its first store featured low-priced lookalike products of popular, higher-end clothing fashions. The store proved to be a success, and Ortega started opening more Zara stores in Spain. By the early 1980s, Ortega had begun formulating a new type of design and distribution model. The clothing industry followed design and production processes that required long lead times, often up to six months, between the initial design of a garment and its delivery to retailers. This model effectively limited manufacturers and distributors to just two or three collections per year. Predicting consumer tastes ahead of time presented inherent difficulties, and producers and distributors faced the constant risk of becoming saddled with unsold inventory. Source

Coach began more than half of a century ago as a family-run workshop in a Manhattan loft. Six artisans handcrafted a collection of high-quality leathergoods using skills passed down from generation to generation. Discerning consumers soon began to seek out the high standards of Coach workmanship.
The founder of Coach was first inspired by a baseball glove when he saw its distinctive markings and how supple it became with use. After refining it, making it softer and stronger, he created Coach's first handbag. Since then, innovations in leather finishes, new grains and colors, and modern materials continue to fascinate us. But this glove-tanned leather remains a Coach tradition. And it still burnishes as beautifully as it did back when Babe Ruth played baseball.
Throughout the years, Coach has maintained the highest standards of workmanship and materials. Now, greatly expanded, Coach's exceptional workforce is committed to carefully upholding the principles of quality and integrity which made the company great. Today, Coach is considered a classic part of the landscape of American design.

Richards. A preocupação não é ser moda. A marca está solidamente estabelecida como estilo. Já existe hoje este estilo Richards, com tudo o que a palavra simboliza. Richards é não estar sujeito a tendências, a um estar up to date. Richards significa saber, estar à vontade, confortável, cômodo, bem vestido. Não estar under, nem over. É um estilo de vida que corresponde ao modo de agir e pensar, a uma filosofia do estar, que define uma visão de mundo e de comportamento. Richards sintetiza, de modo claro, uma postura, maneira de ser, do mesmo modo que um olhar, às vezes, é esclarecedor. Para que definir Richards, se o melhor é ver, e então conhecer, ter consciência do que significa estilo? Costanza Pascolato, Vogue Brasil
