What is Boohoo?
Boohoo is a fast fashion online retailer that bought several well-known high street brands, including Dorothy Perkins, from the collapsed Arcadia Group in 2021. This meant those brands continued to exist online, even though their physical shops closed. Boohoo also owns Burton and Wallis.
