Tesco announces major change for shoppers and fans of F&F clothing will be buzzing
TESCO has announced a major change that will leave fans of its fashion range buzzing.
The supermarket will soon be launching an online store dedicated to its clothing brand F&F.
It means fans will be able shop its stylish wears from the comfort of their own home and no longer have to travel to stores.
Details of the launch were confirmed in Tesco’s financial results published this morning, April 10.
Little information was shared, but the major grocery store said the “launch of F&F clothing [is] scheduled to go live for customers in the year ahead”.
Customers first caught wind of the plans back in September, online, sparking excitement from savvy fashionistas.
At the time, the firm told The Sun: “We’re always looking for ways to improve our online offer for customers and we’ll keep them posted if and when we have anything to share”.
It marks the first time in over six years that customers can order the F&F range online, after the supermarket axed the service in 2018.
Shoppers could first buy the range on a separate website from 2009, but this was later moved onto Tesco Direct in 2016.
However, January shoppers could still access the collection through Next.
Since then, ranges launched by the firm have garnered huge social media attention, with some going as far to say that it is “new Zara”.
A number of its pieces have gone viral, including a matching Camel High Neck Waist Coat for £22.50, and Camel Trousers for £25.50.
They have also been praised for being size inclusive, with one curvy shopper raving about their £20 jeans.
It follows the launch of Tesco marketplace, a subsection of it’s online supermarket where customers can also buy goods from third party vendors.
Elsewhere, the supermarket said today it expects profits to be lower this year as it braces for a potential price war between supermarkets.
Bosess said the expect profits of between of between £2.7billion and £3billion, compared with the £3.1billion it made for the financial year just ended.
Chief Ken Murphy said: “Our continued focus on value and quality, coupled with market-leading availability, has contributed to another year of increased customer satisfaction and our highest market share for nearly a decade.
” We have invested in bringing great prices to our customers throughout the year.”
RISE OF SUPERMARKET CLOTHING
Plenty of other supermarkets have been praised for their fashion lines, as shoppers seek out affordability as living costs rise.
Sainsbury’s TU range has been a hit with shoppers, and Asda’s George is selling a £17 dupe for £235 pair of designer trousers.
TU clothing is already available to shop online, with the website also stocking lines from Dorthy Perkins and Wallis.
Asda’s George range is also available to shop at direct.asda.com/george/women.
If you are looking to save money on clothing, Vinted is also a hot spot to find bargains.

How to save money at Tesco
EVERY little helps when it comes to saving money at Tesco.
The Sun’s Head of Consumer Tara Evans explains how you can save money at the UK’s biggest supermarket.
Clubcard points
Tesco first launched it’s loyalty scheme back in 1995. You get one point for every £1 you spend in store. If you spend points in store then 100 points is worth £1. You can spend your points via its reward partners and get triple and even sometimes quadruple the value.
Extend Clubcard points
You can find lost Clubvcard points and find the last two years of unused vouchers by logging into the Tesco Clubcard site.
Clubcard prices
If you don’t have a Clubcard then you will miss out on its cheaper Clubcard prices. However, don’t forget to check prices before you shop because it might not be cheaper than elsewhere, especially on big value items like washing powder and loo roll.
Yellow stickers
Shops do vary the time they reduce groceries with yellow stickers but Tesco tends to be between 7pm and 9pm.
Save money if you shop online
If you get your Tesco food shop delivered then it might be worth buying a delivery saver pass to help cut the cost of delivery fees.
If you live near a Tesco then you can get click and collect slots of as little as 25p, so it might be cheaper than getting your food delivered.
