When it comes to fashion retail, few names are as globally recognized as H&M. Originating in Sweden, this iconic brand has become synonymous with trendy, affordable clothing for men, women, and children.
H&M, short for Hennes & Mauritz, was founded in 1947 by Erling Persson in Västerås, Sweden. Initially, the store was named "Hennes," which means "hers" in Swedish, as it exclusively sold women's clothing. A few decades later, in 1968, the brand expanded its offering by acquiring Mauritz Widforss, a hunting and fishing equipment store, marking its entry into men's wear and hence the name H&M.
