The active lifestyle apparel brand partners with Liverpool to manage retail locations, e-commerce, and wholesale operations across the region
Expansion into Mexico brings Fabletics one step closer to securing presence in 10 countries by Q4 2027
EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Oct. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fabletics, the world’s most fashionable, high-performance active and lifestyle wear brand, announces the brand’s expansion into Mexico through a partnership with Liverpool, the omnichannel retail group that has operated for over 177 years in Mexico, to offer access to the brand’s products and unique brand experiences. Leveraging Liverpool’s excellent operational strength and extensive capacity of managing a wide portfolio of global brands, Fabletics will broaden its reach with Liverpool operating retail, fabletics.com.mx and wholesales operations – beginning in Q2 of 2025.
"There is a huge global opportunity to extend our unique offering of luxury activewear at an accessible price point," said Michael Roth, Vice President, International, Fabletics. “We have big aspirations when it comes to bringing our high-quality product into new regions. Through this partnership with Liverpool, the brand is now able to meet the needs of the Mexican consumer.”
The multi-year deal in Mexico with Liverpool was born out of increased demand for the brand abroad. To meet further interest, Fabletics will prioritize growth over the next five years and plans to explore expansion into additional new regions, like Central America, South America, Australia, and the Middle East.
“We couldn’t be happier about this joint venture with Fabletics,” said Charles Albert Johnson, CEO of International and Boutiques at Liverpool. “It’s a unique opportunity for us to infuse our expertise in retail in Mexico with Fabletics’ world-class, high-quality designs, that we know consumers will be excited to finally get their hands on.”
Offerings will focus on Fabletics’ core designs to start, including but not limited to best selling active and lifewear pieces, and newly developed ecosystems. The future goal is to expand offerings of specialized collaborations and collections - like Fabletics’ ongoing partnership with entrepreneur and TV star Khloé Kardashian and the brand’s elite Luxe360 line that is designed by Fabletics co-founder Ginger Ressler.
“This partnership with Liverpool is just another example of our commitment to Fabletics’ growth strategy,” said Ashley Kechter, Global Brand President, Fabletics. “Our goal is to continue to diversify where Fabletics can be purchased and develop innovative products that speak to what consumers are looking for, globally.”
Since the brand’s inception in 2013, Fabletics has exponentially expanded its footprint; now with over 100 retail stores globally and operating in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Europe.
