Last month, Fatface recorded a boost in sales in both the second half of the year and over the all-important Christmas trading period.
Revenue for the 26 weeks to November rose by 9% year-on-year to £136 million, boosted by “bumper” Christmas trading.
Sales increased by 34% year-on-year in the five weeks to January 7, with all channels trading “positively”, including record knitwear and dress sales in womenswear and its best-ever year for menswear, driven by shirts and outerwear.
