Internacionale was a British retailer of fashion apparel and home accessories that target fashion-conscious women. It sold women's wear including dresses, tops, jeans, trousers, jackets and jewellery. Headquartered in Glasgow, Scotland, Internacionale has stores throughout the United Kingdom.^[1] It operates under the brand "Internacionale" in numerous city centres in the UK, while having homeware stores under the brand "Au Naturale" in suburbs.^[1] In 2013, the company went into administration and was then sold to Internacionale UK, a new company backed by the existing shareholders of the former company. The sale kept more than 1,500 jobs alive in 114 remaining stores of Internacionale at that time.^[2]

The company was created by Ken Cairnduff, a Scottish businessman in 1980 and grew to become known as Internacionale.^[3] The business was sold in 2006 to a management buyout, which at the time had 150 stores.^[4]

The company entered administration for the third time since 2008 on 28 February 2014. In September 2014, Edinburgh Woollen Mill agreed to purchase the intellectual property of Internacionale.^[5]
