Fatface Corporation

FatFace is a British lifestyle clothing and accessories retailer founded in 1988 by Tim Slade and Jules Leaver. Initially selling T-shirts and sweatshirts at ski resorts, the company expanded its range to include menswear, womenswear, kidswear, footwear, and accessories.

With over 180 stores in the UK and 20 in the US, FatFace has established itself as a prominent multichannel retailer. It combines a strong online presence with physical stores.

Acquisition by Next plc

In October 2023, FatFace was acquired by Next plc, a leading British retail company. This acquisition provided FatFace with enhanced resources and digital infrastructure.

The migration of FatFace's online operations to Next's Total Platform in September 2024 improved the online shopping experience for customers and enabled scaling of its online operations to reach a broader customer base.
