Our take

Considered the earliest pioneer in merging high-end luxury with streetwear, End Clothing is an online and high-street retail company selling contemporary menswear, sportswear and quality lifestyle goods.

What started as a single store in Newcastle now occupies London and Glasgow locations as well as a highly popular eCommerce site, offering goods from over 400 brands and shipping over 6,000 products across the world every day. END is in an exciting time of transition, anointing a new CEO - with expertise in luxury retail in both online and offline channels - as well as the ex-CEO of fashion-giant Gucci serving as new Chairman of the Board, carving out for itself an exciting future.

In 2021, the company sold a majority stake to private equity giant, The Carlyle Group. Leveraging the equity firm’s experience in the consumer sector, this partnership enables END’s expansion within both the domestic UK market and internationally.
