History
[edit | edit source]Phase Eight was first established by Patsy Seddon in London in 1979 in a small boutique in Wandsworth Common.[1] The name originated from a combination of P. Hayes, Patsy's maiden name, and the address of the first shop, 8 Bellevue Road.[2] The retailer provides women's clothing designed in house, including Bridalwear and accessories.[3]
Phase Eight was purchased by the South African retailer Foschini Group in 2015.[4]
Stores
[edit | edit source]As of 2014, the retailer had 106 stores and 207 concessions in the UK, and 18 stores and 128 concessions internationally.[5]
Internationally, Phase Eight opened four stores in Switzerland and seven concessions in Germany through its subsidiaries and joint venture partners in 2013.[6]
