Historia
Founded in 1981 by Raymond and Linda Castles in Sydney, Dotti began as a single boutique before expanding across Australia and New Zealand. In 2004, the Just Group acquired the brand, facilitating its integration into a larger retail conglomerate. Historically, Dotti contributed to the proliferation of affordable, youth-oriented fashion chains in the Southern Hemisphere. It serves as a case study in the regional transition from independent boutiques to standardized, high-volume commercial retail models.
