The designer shopping club was originally launched in the USA in June 2011 and has since signed up more than 3.5 million members, establishing a trend for online shopping that appeals specifically to stylish and creative customers with an eye for a bargain. This makes Fab.com currently the fastest growing e-commerce company in the world, with an anticipated gross income of $130 million in 2012.  Financial backers for Fab.com include a range of celebrities, such as Ashton Kutcher and Madonna’s manager Guy Oseary.

“Fab.com is thrilled to be opening its doors to UK customers. Even before the launch, we had 100,000 users in Europe signed up to our waiting list and this indicates just how huge the interest in exclusive design is. The UK has great potential for us and we are delighted to be able to fly the flag for design here as well.”
