History
Coggles was founded by Victoria Bage in York in 1974. Bage stated that she named the company after a woman who was allegedly having an affair with Bage's husband.[2] Bage's son, Mark Bage, modernised the shop and launched an online store in 2006.[3][4][5]
Coggles entered administration in 2013. The physical stores were liquidated and the online side business sold to the e-commerce retailer, The Hut Group.[6][1] In December 2017, the company opened its first physical shop since 2013 in Alderley Edge, Cheshire.[7]
