For over 80 years, the green triangle of El Corte Inglés has been more than just a logo; it has been a landmark of the Spanish lifestyle. From our humble beginnings as a small tailor shop in Madrid in 1940 to becoming Europe’s largest department store group, our journey has always been guided by one principle: the customer is at the heart of everything we do.
But as the world changes, so do we. Today, El Corte Inglés is redefining what it means to shop, blending the luxury of our physical stores with a cutting-edge digital ecosystem.
1. The Best of Both Worlds: Phygital Shopping
We believe that shopping should be an experience, not a chore. That’s why we’ve pioneered the “phygital” model—merging the physical touch of our grand stores with the speed of digital.
- The App Experience: Our app is your personal gateway to millions of products, from gourmet food to high-end fashion. With features like “Hands-Free Shopping” (where you shop in-store and we deliver it to your car or home), we’re making your visit seamless.
- Click & Car: Order online and pick up your items from our dedicated parking bays in under 10 minutes. It’s the ultimate convenience for the modern, busy life.
2. Fashion & Beauty: A Curated Universe
Our fashion floors aren’t just about clothes; they are about identity. We are proud to host a unique mix of global luxury houses and exclusive Spanish designers you won’t find anywhere else.
- Our Own Brands: From the timeless elegance of Emidio Tucci to the vibrant, youth-focused styles of Sfera, our in-house brands represent the pinnacle of Mediterranean design.
- Personal Shopping: Our expert stylists are available to help you navigate the latest trends, ensuring that every piece you choose reflects your best self.
3. The Gourmet Experience: A Taste of Spain
No visit to El Corte Inglés is complete without a stop at the Gourmet Experience. We have turned the traditional food hall into a culinary destination.
- Local to Global: Whether you’re looking for the finest Jamón Ibérico, Michelin-starred tapas, or exotic ingredients from around the world, our selection is unparalleled.
- Sustainability on the Plate: We are committed to local sourcing, supporting Spanish farmers and producers to ensure that our food is as fresh as it is ethical.
4. Building a Sustainable Future
Luxury and responsibility must go hand in hand. At El Corte Inglés, we are committed to our 2025-2030 Sustainability Master Plan, which focuses on achieving a circular economy and reducing our carbon footprint.
- Zero Waste: Over 190 of our stores and platforms are already Zero Waste Certified, meaning over 90% of the waste we generate is recycled or reused.
- The Sustainable Product Guide: We now offer over 147,000 products with sustainability attributes—from organic cotton clothing to eco-friendly home tech—making it easier for you to shop with a conscience.
5. A Legacy of Trust
In an era of endless options, Trust remains our most valuable currency. Our legendary return policy and commitment to quality are why generations of families continue to choose us for life’s big moments.
- Beyond Retail: Through Viajes El Corte Inglés, Seguros, and our financial services, we are here to support every aspect of your life—travel, protection, and growth.
