Zara’s parent company, Inditex, has seen first-half sales rise 5.6%, with a 10% increase in sales for the start of the third quarter.

The company, which owns more than 6,400 stores over its Zara, Massimo Dutti and Pull & Bear outlets did see net income drop in the period, but not by as much as expected by analysts.

The Zara brand is at the forefront of the group’s efforts to expand into the online market, with expectations to be selling in 27 markets by the end of the month having recently launched in Mexico.
