Renovations are in progress and the signs are up for the first Virginia location of British clothing retailer Fat Face.
Fat Face sells a wide variety of casual and business casual clothing, plus accessories and small home items. There are options for children and adults from underwear to outerwear.
The clothing store will be opening at 128 King St. in Old Town Alexandria, once the home of the Trading Post. Fat Face has multiple stores in New England and is expanding south. An exact opening date is not available yet.
According to the company's story online, "It all began in 1988 with two guys enjoying life on the slopes in the French Alps and desperately trying to avoid working for a living. With money running out, they hatched a plan: print some sweatshirts and t-shirts, sell them at night, and ski during the day. With that simple formula, the FatFace brand was born with the name even being inspired by their favourite black mountain run in Val d’Isère, La Face."
Fat Face opened its first retail store in Fulham, England in 1992. The first store in the United States opened in 2016 and there are now 10 Fat Face U.S. stores, mostly in New England plus one in Ohio.
