Magento 2 Multi-store Extension | Multi brand store.
ABOUT THE ENHANCED MAGENTO 2 MULTI-STORE MULTI-BRAND EXTENSION.
The Magento 2 Multi-Store module allows you to show different brands or languages in the header of your store, while offering the possibility to navigate between these store-views.
This flexible solution enables the merchant to display the store-view brands or languages in the header of each store. This offers the end user an omnichannel experience while purchasing on the website. The end user will be able to purchase from any store-view and checkout with the same account.

You don't have to start from scratch with your new brand! Take advantage of the popularity of your main brand and add the rest to the header of your store. For example, one domain web site - www.zara.com - with multiple brands: Zara , Zara Kids, Zara Home.
