Revenue model

1. Footwear and Accessories Distribution for Inditex Brands: Tempe generates revenue by designing, developing, and distributing footwear and accessories collections exclusively for Inditex Group brands. As an internal entity of the Inditex Group, it operates as a cost center/design hub rather than generating independent external revenue. The company launched its first Zara Kids collection in 1989-90 and progressively incorporated footwear collections for all Inditex brands from 1991-2003, and handbag collections from 2007 onward.
