Phase Eight UK store locations
What Phase Eight is
Phase Eight is a British womenswear brand specialising in occasionwear and bridalwear, alongside workwear, casualwear, accessories and its premium plus-size sub-brand Studio 8. It sits in the mid-to-premium tier, a notch below its TFG London sister brands Whistles and Hobbs.
Price tier: Premium
Ownership: Wholly owned by The Foschini Group (TFG) Limited, the Johannesburg-listed South African retailer, through its TFG London division alongside Whistles, Hobbs and White Stuff; the trading company is Phase Eight (Fashion & Designs) Limited and the UK estate is company-operated, with no franchise model.
Formats: Department-store concessions, chiefly in John Lewis and House of Fraser, standalone high-street and shopping-centre stores, and a shared Phase Eight, Hobbs and Whistles outlet store in Banbridge, Northern Ireland. Also sold online at phase-eight.com and through marks&spencer.com.
Growth: Consolidating its store estate, with investment going into shared-format outlets, online order hubs within stores and wholesale through Marks & Spencer rather than net new standalone openings.
