Why Zara Tindall relies on this under-the-radar designer - with five coats and 10 pairs of boots from the British brand
Zara Tindall's affinity for Fairfax & Favor has grown in recent years. She has accumulated a range of clothing and accessories, including five coats - three of which were collaborations with Musto - and 10 pairs of boots.
The luxury British brand, founded in 2013 by childhood friends Marcus Fairfax Fountaine and Felix Favor Parker, is based in Norfolk.
Originally focused on country footwear, the company has expanded into clothing, bags and accessories.
It now operates six stores in Holt, Stamford, Helmsley, Stow-on-the-Wold, Marlow, Bakewell and Shaftesbury, with another set to open in Bawtry.
In 2021, the company was recognised as one of the fastest-growing businesses in the UK by the Eastern Daily Press. And in 2023, it was listed among the 100 fastest-growing companies by The Sunday Times.
Fairfax & Favor has also won the Drapers Footwear Award twice, first in 2020 and again in 2023.
Its signature country aesthetic is a perfect fit for Zara, a former equestrian, who has a particular fondness for the brand's military-inspired coats and knee-high boots.
Here, we explore her best outfits, featuring Fairfax & Favor.
