About FatFace
FatFace is a beloved British lifestyle brand founded in 1988 by Tim Slade and Jules Leaver in the French ski resort of Méribel. The two friends started by selling printed t-shirts and sweatshirts from a Volkswagen campervan in the Alps to fund their skiing adventures—the brand name inspired by the famous La Face black run in Val d'Isère. From those humble beginnings, FatFace opened its first permanent store on Fulham Road, London in 1993 and has grown into a multichannel retailer with over 180 UK stores and 20 US locations. The brand expanded beyond ski and surf apparel to become a complete lifestyle brand, including pet accessories. FatFace became a Certified B Corp in 2023, demonstrating commitment to social and environmental responsibility. In October 2023, Next plc acquired FatFace for £115.2 million, providing new backing while maintaining the brand's distinct identity. The pet range features FatFace's signature patterns and quality, including dog beds, bowls, and accessories with playful designs like the popular Marching Dogs collection.
