Barcelona-based retailer OnTop targets expansion, planning to open 20 new stores by 2012.

OnTop Barcelona, an accessories chain for hair, is making waves in the fashion industry. With its headquarters situated on Pamplona Street, Barcelona, the company is led by Marta Martínez and backed by Christian Meyer, the brother of Desigual's founder.

Christian Meyer, who previously played a significant role in leading the international expansion of Desigual, is now a part of OnTop Barcelona's capital. Marta Martínez, with a career history in companies such as Mango, Levi's, and Nice Things, is leading the company.

The company's portfolio includes over 1,100 references of accessories, ranging from headbands to tiaras, headdresses, and turbans. OnTop Barcelona is not directly related to Desigual, despite the connection with its founder's brother.

In 2012, OnTop Barcelona planned to open twenty stores, and the following year, the company announced plans for further expansion. However, the store on Paseo de Gracia in Barcelona will close on January 31, marking one of the four closed locations so far, which also include Mataró Park (Mataró, Barcelona), Maremagnum (Barcelona), Palma de Mallorca, and La Cañada (Marbella).

Interestingly, Christian Meyer parted ways with his brother Thomas Meyer and left Desigual due to differing views on managing international expansion. Meyer now brings his expertise to OnTop Barcelona, as all departments, including design and finished product purchases, are situated in the same location.

While the search results do not provide information on who founded the OnTop Barcelona business in Barcelona before Christian Meyer joined, the company's future plans for international expansion in 2013 are still on the horizon. As OnTop Barcelona continues to grow, it promises to bring innovative and stylish accessories to fashion enthusiasts worldwide.
