About Tu

Tu is Sainsbury's clothing brand and one of the larger British clothing sellers by volume, sold inside supermarkets rather than through its own shops. It competes directly with George at Asda. Supermarket clothing works because the customer is already in the shop, which removes the cost of attracting them that a standalone chain has to carry.
