Scottish label Strathberry has been defining “quiet luxury” with its considered, classic bags long before Succession amplified the trend on your TikTok and Instagram feeds. Founded in 2013, the Edinburgh-based brand is minimalist and thoughtful, using the highest quality Spanish craftsmanship to create its covetable accessories. Characterised by their signature bar closure, piped handles and foil-embossed Strathberry emblem, polish and refinement is the name of the game for the family-run business.
So it’s perhaps no surprise that Strathberry already counts style mavens Katie Holmes and Sarah Jessica Parker among its fans, as well as a loyal roster of royals. During her first official outing in after her engagement to Prince Harry, Meghan Markle plumped for one of the label’s colour-blocked totes, while Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, Zara Philips and Princess Eugenie have all been spotted with Strathberry bags. But it’s Kate Middleton who has perhaps the largest collection, with four bags and counting hailing from the Scottish label.
From her croc-embossed clutch (she has it in both white and navy), to the brand’s best selling mosaic nano, the bag’s perfectly match her elegant and understated wardrobe. But Strathberry has a lot more going for it than just the royal seal of approval. While the functional, yet fashionable bag designs are dreamt up in Edinburgh, they’re brought to life in a remote Andalucían village in the mountains of Spain.
Distinguished by it.
