About Mango
Founded in 1984 by Turkish immigrant brothers Isak and Nahman Andic in Barcelona, Mango began when young Isak arrived in Barcelona from Istanbul in the 1960s. His entrepreneurial instincts led him to buy hand-embroidered blouses from sailors in the port and sell them to Catalan stores. The first Mango store opened on Barcelona's prestigious Paseo de Gracia, offering "effortlessly chic" Mediterranean style at accessible prices. By 1988, Mango had 13 stores across Spain. In 1992, they expanded internationally to Portugal, and by 1995, launched one of Europe's first fashion e-commerce sites. Today, Mango operates 2,700+ stores in 120+ markets, with 36% of revenue from online sales. In August 2025, Mango launched a pioneering virtual fashion assistant powered by generative AI, making it one of the first major fashion brands to integrate AI into the shopping experience. The brand is known for elevated basics, tailored blazers, and Spanish-inspired prints.

How to Get Your VAT Refund: Step-by-Step
Step 1: Before making a purchase
Request Custom Invoice
When checking out at Mango, request the invoice to be made out to "Travel Money" with our Paris address. This is critical for maximizing your refund.
Step 2: When making a purchase
Pay in Local Currency
Always choose to pay in euros (€) instead of your home currency to avoid poor exchange rates and maximize savings.
Step 3: After shopping
Upload Invoice & Receipt
Immediately upload your Mango invoice and receipt in the TravelMoney app. Don't wait until you get to the airport.
Step 4: When leaving the EU
Scan Barcode at Point of Departure
At the airport, port, or train station, scan the barcode on your TravelMoney app at customs. Bring your Mango purchase in carry-on for potential inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get VAT refund on Mango online purchases?
No. VAT refunds are only available for in-store purchases made in Europe. Online orders shipped internationally are already VAT-exempt.
Do I need to show my Mango purchase at customs?
High-value items (typically over €1,000) may require physical inspection at customs. Keep your purchase in carry-on luggage, not checked bags.
What if I'm connecting through a non-EU airport?
You must validate your VAT refund at your last EU point of departure, not your final destination. For example, if flying Paris → London → New York, validate in Paris.
How long does it take to get my refund?
With TravelMoney, refunds are processed instantly once validated at customs. Standard tax-free services can take 4-12 weeks.
