THE-ARE is a Valencian-based women's fashion brand that designs and sells apparel for women. Founded in 2012 by designer Rocío Botella, its growth began with sewing in a small room, advancing to a showroom and an online store by 2014, followed by expansion across Spain through an online and retail presence. The catalog expanded from dresses to include casualwear and swimwear in 2018, with later additions such as pajamas in 2021, and the company now operates more than 35 points of sale serving customers worldwide. In its industry, THE-ARE positions itself as a multi-channel women's fashion retailer, with a notable flagship store opened in Valencia in 2024. The company has pursued visibility through strategic partnerships and notable appearances, including sponsorship of the Valencia Femenino football club in 2022 and the Infanta Sofía wearing its designs at the Premios Princesa de Asturias. It has earned industry acknowledgments, such as a Tendencia award for the best Valencian fashion company in 2023 and a Shopify achievement for online orders in 2021, reflecting its growth and online presence.
