Turkish-born Spanish businessman Isak Andic, founder of popular fashion brand Mango, has died at 71. The accident occurred while he was hiking near Barcelona.
Andic’s family moved to Spain when he was young and he opened the first Mango store in Barcelona in 1984. Under his leadership, the company grew into one of Europe’s leading fast-fashion brands with over 2,700 stores globally. Andic’s success transformed Mango into a global fashion leader.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez paid tribute to Andic on social media, praising his hard work and business vision. The company has set a record sales figure of €3.1 billion in 2023 and plans to expand its US presence with 65 stores by the end of 2025.
