Karen Millen Returns to Physical Retail With UK Concessions
Karen Millen has begun a return to physical retail after seven years, with three UK concessions opening in August through TFG stores and further locations planned.
Karen Millen has begun its return to bricks-and-mortar retail after seven years, with the first of three UK concessions opening at Fosse Park, Leicester, on Friday 14 August 2026. Two further concessions are scheduled to open on Monday 17 August at Aberdeen Union Square and Liverpool ONE, with additional locations due to follow.
The rollout will place Karen Millen collections within TFG stores, part of The Foschini Group, alongside brands including Hobbs, Phase Eight and Whistles. The company said the move responds to customer demand for a physical retail presence.
Each concession will carry a curated selection focused on occasionwear and bestselling pieces, with particular emphasis on the Forever Collection. Karen Millen said the collection draws on 45 years of craftsmanship and centres on established signature styles and enduring bestsellers.
The physical format will give customers the opportunity to view and try on products before purchasing. Sizes 6 to 18 will be available across participating stores.
“Karen Millen is a brand with real heritage, recognition and a loyal customer base, so bringing it back to the high street is a significant moment. Our customers want great fashion, but they also want to experience brands in different ways, and physical retail gives us another opportunity to do that. Working with TFG allows us to bring the Karen Millen signature craftsmanship and occasionwear to a new generation of customers, while building on the strength of a brand that has been part of British fashion for more than four decades.”
