For more than a century, Dorothy Perkins has become a leading fashion institution and fashion retailer for women that first introduced its trends in United Kingdom in 1909. Before becoming the Dorothy Perkins we know it today, it first marketed its apparel under the name H.P. Newman until 1919. During the 1960’s, the Farmer family, former owner of Winter Hosiery, has total control of Dorothy Perkins.
DP is well known for its wide range of sleepwear collections for women including tights and all kinds of lingerie although their other line of women apparel had difficulty in competing with Lewis Separates because of its trendier and voguish designs.
With headquarters in London, Dorothy Perkins has branches in over 20 countries including United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait among others.In the UK alone, DP has over 600 stores and more than 120 international outlets. This is their commitment to provide high-end fashion to clients all over the world.
