The White Company is eyeing a move into a vacant St Andrews unit.
The luxury homewares and clothing retailer has lodged an application to refit the former Paperchase unit on Market Street.
Paperchase went into administration earlier this year, resulting in the closure of all their 106 stores across the UK.
If The White Company’s plans are successful, the St Andrews shop will be the retailer’s first in Fife.

Under the building warrant application submitted to Fife Council, The White Company wants to carry out £180,000 worth of alterations to the vacant shop.
This includes stripping out the existing interior.
The alterations would be carried out by Reading-based company Quadrant Design, who have worked with major retailers such as H&M and Adidas.
