TFG London has opened the first store under its new Fivefold name at Eastgate Shopping Centre in Inverness, bringing Hobbs, Whistles, Phase Eight and Karen Millen together under one roof.
The store, at Units 63-65 in the centre, opened on Thursday 12 November. Fivefold gives a new identity to the group’s boutique department store concept, which is already established at Fosse Park, Aberdeen and Liverpool One, where TFG London opened its largest UK store in 2025. A second Fivefold store is due to open in Bournemouth later this month.
The format offers a wardrobe spanning everyday style, contemporary fashion and occasionwear, with an emphasis on breadth of choice and service in a boutique department store setting. The business says its aim is to make shopping more inspiring and personal by bringing fashion brands, considered spaces and expert service together.
The line-up includes Hobbs, Whistles and Phase Eight, alongside Karen Millen, which was introduced to the group’s three existing multi-brand stores earlier this year and, according to the company, met with a strong response from customers.
“Fashion should be one of life’s pleasures, and that’s the idea behind Fivefold. We’re bringing brilliant brands together in one considered space, with truly expert service, new discoveries and something for every moment in your wardrobe.
Caraline Money, Group Retail Director, TFG London
“We’ve already seen how much customers value being able to shop these brands together in one destination, and our opening in Inverness Eastgate is an exciting next step. It’s the first time we’re bringing that experience to life under the Fivefold name, with Bournemouth due to follow later this month. Our team can’t wait to welcome customers to our new store and share their expertise with them.”
The Inverness store is the first public expression of the Fivefold brand. According to the company, every element, from the curation of brands to the design of the fitting rooms and the service customers receive, is intended to make shopping feel uplifting and welcoming.
“Securing the UK’s first Fivefold store right here in the heart of the Highlands is an exciting milestone for the brand and the Eastgate Centre. The arrival of a new-to-market brand further enhances our retail mix, offers something different for customers, and demonstrates the continued confidence retailers have in Inverness and the wider Highlands. It also reinforces the importance of Eastgate’s position as a vibrant hub for the Highlands community.”
Jon Carter, Centre Manager, Eastgate Shopping Centre
To mark the opening, the store is hosting in-store activity from Thursday 12 to Sunday 15 November, with Prosecco and Fivefold treats, a Shop to Win scratch card with every purchase and prizes from Fivefold and its brands. Customers can also receive up to 25% off selected brands, with exclusive gifts for those spending £200 or more.
The opening adds a new-to-market name to Eastgate Shopping Centre, with Bournemouth set to become the second store to trade as Fivefold.
