Coggles is a British designer clothing retailer. It was founded by Victoria Bage in 1974, bought out of administration by THG plc in 2013,[1] and sold to Frasers Group in 2024.[2]
Coggles was founded in York in 1974 by Victoria Bage, who reportedly named the shop after her husband’s alleged mistress, Sarah Coggles, following a personal betrayal.[3] Bage's son, Mark Bage, modernised the shop and launched an online store in 2006.[4][5][6]
Coggles entered administration in 2013. The physical stores were liquidated and the online side business sold to the e-commerce retailer, The Hut Group.[7][1]
In December 2017, after four years online-only, Coggles reopened a bricks-and-mortar flagship in Alderley Edge, Cheshire. The new 4,000 sq ft store occupied a former bank and featured marble interiors and former vaults repurposed as display rooms.[8][9]
In June 2024, it was announced that THG plc had sold Coggles, along with the rest of THG's Luxury division, to Frasers Group.[2]
