The Coast story began in 1996, and since then our passion for excellence in style and service has taken us on a very exciting journey.

A very special company

Since we began, our philosophy has always remained the same. We’re dedicated to creating and providing beautifully designed, quality garments for the special times in your life. Everything we do has that attention to detail, from our in-house designs and the fabric we use to our inspired décor and sales assistants’ expertise, so that every shopping experience is a truly special occasion. In recognition of this, our collections have won several prestigious awards from the UK fashion industry and we have become one of the UK’s most successful occasionwear brands for women.

The way forward

Extending our passion for all that is elegant, beautiful and exclusive, we developed and launched our special ‘interior concept’ in Leeds. The interplay of stylish lighting, exquisite furniture and sumptuous fabrics reflects Art Deco glamour; the perfect backdrop to showcase our collections. With 46 stand-alone stores and 163 concessions in the UK and Ireland, the Coast journey continues and has taken an exciting new step with the launch of our transactional website – another wonderful way to browse and enjoy the very latest Coast collections.
