Fairfax & Favor is a British luxury lifestyle brand based in Norfolk, UK. It has six stores in the United Kingdom.[3][4]

Overview

Fairfax & Favor was founded by two childhood friends, Marcus Fairfax Fountaine and Felix Favor Parker, in 2013.[3][5] The company opened its first store in Holt, England, in 2019. As of 2023, it has six stores in the United Kingdom located in Holt, Stamford, Helmsley, Stow-on-the-Wold, Marlow, and Blakewell, and USA.[6][7][8]

Fairfax & Favor primarily began to create fashion footwear for rural areas in the United Kingdom. Later, it started selling fashion apparel, bags, belts, and other accessories.[9] In 2021, the company was named one of the fastest-growing companies in the United Kingdom by Eastern Daily Press.[10] Fairfax & Favor also won the Drapers Footwear Award twice, first in 2020, and then in 2023. In 2023, it was included in the list of the 100 fastest-growing companies in Britain by The Sunday Times.[4]

The company partners with businesses and non-profit organizations.[11] In 2021, Fairfax & Favor collaborated with Le Chameau and launched the L’Alliance Wellington Boot Limited Edition.[12] It has been participating in supporting a non-profit organization, Breast Cancer Now, since 2014. As of 2023, Fairfax & Favor raised over £400,000 for the non-profit organization from its Pink category products.[13][14][15]
