History

Founded in 1988 by Tim Slade and Jules Leaver, the brand originated in Méribel, France. The founders sold screen-printed sweatshirts from their campervan to fund their winter ski season. The company name references the Face de Bellevarde ski run in Val d'Isère. Historically, FatFace contributed to the rise of the British lifestyle sector, transitioning from a niche alpine venture into a prominent high street presence known for its heritage-inspired, rugged casual wear.
