Castro (clothing)

Castro (Hebrew: קסטרו) is an Israeli clothing company specializing in men's and women's fashions.

[4] The company was founded by Aaron Castro, a Sephardic Jew from Thessaloniki, Greece, whose family immigrated to Israel when he was a young boy.

[5] In the 1950s, Castro opened a small corner store in Tel Aviv called Nina, named for his mother.

[4] As the business grew and the basement of the store became a small factory producing ready-to-wear clothing, the name was changed to Castro.

[4] In 2005, Castro entered into a joint (50%) ownership of an international accessories chain, DIVA, with England-based DCK Concessions and today has 23 stores.
