Derbion fashions FatFace signing

The Derbion shopping centre is set to add FatFace to its fashion lineup.

The retailer – which specialises in lifestyle clothing and accessories for men and women – has agreed a five-year lease for a 1,830 sq ft unit at the Derby shopping centre.

FatFace’s arrival follows the recent additions of Crew Clothing, Victoria’s Secret, Seasalt, Luke 1977, and Castore to the fashion lineup at Derbion. Primark is also set to relocate to the scheme in 2027.

Alongside these new arrivals, Derbion also secured 11 lease renewals, regears, refits, and relocations last year, with occupiers including Footlocker, Moss, H Samuel, Pandora, and AllSaints investing in their existing spaces.

Beth McDonald, managing director at Derbion said: “We are delighted to welcome FatFace as the latest addition to our diverse fashion offering. FatFace is the latest example of how our leasing strategy is transforming Derbion as we secure new retail brands to broaden our offer to customers.

“FatFace will be a popular addition among our shoppers and helps enhance our reputation as the East Midlands’ home of big name fashion brands.”

Karen Johnston, stores director at FatFace, said: “Derbion is an exciting destination and we’re pleased to be opening a new FatFace store in the centre in the coming months. The new store will give us the opportunity to showcase our full lifestyle collection and connect with customers in Derby and the surrounding area”.
