What is Strathberry?

Strathberry is an Edinburgh based luxury leather goods brand making handbags and accessories with clean, minimal lines. Its design atelier is housed in a listed townhouse in Edinburgh, while production takes place with artisans in Ubrique, Spain.

History

The company was founded by Guy and Leeanne Hundleby, with Clare Robertson as early creative director. It initially operated as Strathberry of Scotland, producing tweed and leather goods, before focusing on leather handbags. The brand gained wide attention in December 2017 when Meghan Markle carried one of its bags at her first official public appearance with Prince Harry.

Products and positioning

The collections centre on handbags defined by the Music Bar, a hardware detail inspired by a vintage leather sheet music folio. The brand describes its approach as "designed in Scotland, handcrafted in Spain", using Spanish leathers and finishes for pieces intended to last.

Distribution

Strathberry sells through its own boutiques in Edinburgh, London and Shanghai, its e-commerce sites and a network of stockists.

Why it matters

Strathberry is one of the few British handbag brands to build international recognition within a decade, combining Scottish design identity with established Spanish leather craftsmanship.
