Flannels is a luxury fashion retailer, which was founded in 1976 in Cheshire. There are now over 50 Flannel stores across the UK.

It was founded by Neil Prosser, who was the managing director until 2017, when Flannels was purchased by the Fraser Group.

The Fraser Group also owns House of Fraser, Sports Direct, Jack Wills, GAME, Flannels, USC, Lillywhites, Evans Cycles and Everlast Fitness Club.

High-end sports wear is also available, as Flannels stocks Adidas, Puma, Nike, Fred and Perry, Champion, Under Armour and Lacoste.

Their beauty range also includes luxury brands, like Clinique, Charlotte Tilbury, Jo Malone, Kiehls, Laura Mercier, Mac, Mario Badescu, Morphe and Urban Decay.

How expensive is it?

Flannels sells mostly luxury items, so it is more pricey than most high-street clothing stores.

Most womenswear and menswear starts at around £50, however, some of the designer items on offer cost up to £4,000.

Are there other Flannels stores in Scotland?

West Lothian shoppers won’t have to travel to Edinburgh, as there is already a Flannels store in Livingston.

The luxury retailer can also be found in Glasgow.
