Meet Marcus Fountaine

Meet Marcus Fountaine, the founder of fellow British retailer Fairfax & Favor. Renowned for luxury countryside inspired accessories and footwear, we headed to the East Anglian countryside to speak to Marcus in their head office. Read on to get the low-down on the future of the brand and find out his top Norfolk tips.

Marcus, thank you for being part of The Beaufort Journal. First of all, tell us about Fairfax & Favor?
We are a luxury lifestyle brand based in the UK that has a vision of creating timeless and versatile pieces for the modern, rural lifestyle.

What’s your favourite thing about your job?
We’ve got really lovely customers who come and see us at our events and stores, I love meeting them.



What does the future for Fairfax & Favor look like?
We are really excited to announce that Zara Tindall has become the Fairfax & Favor ambassador. She’s a distinguished eventer and she’s actually been wearing Fairfax & Favor for a long time.



Leather or suede?
I’m going to say the leather and suede combination is the best. It's a trademark of ours. Combine the two for a variance in texture.

Top tips for visiting Norfolk?
First of all, there’s beautiful beaches. Brancaster beach is the most amazing white sand beach. Second of all, the country pubs round here are just amazing. There’s Michelin star pubs that serve fantastic food.
