With a star studded fan following, Strathberry has become a popular name in recent years when it comes to handbags. The brand operating from Edinburgh, was previously known as Strathberry of Scotland & was founded in 2011 by husband wife duo Guy Hundleby and Leeanne Hundleby. Clare Robertson joined as Creative Director too. The company rebranded and relaunched in 2015 though, with the Hundleby’s, managing and creating themselves. That made all the difference we think.
Why is Strathberry so popular? When Meghan Markle wore their Tote bag at one of her early outings with Prince Harry, the brand got a lot of international coverage. This wouldn’t be the last time Meghan wore Strathberry bags, though. Based solely on her public outings, she owns atleast 3 Strathberry bags and we’ve linked two below for you to shop right now and step out looking like a Duchess!
Celebrity love aside, the specialty of Strathberry is creating luxury leather accessories with a refined design. The Hundlebys got the idea to manufacture leather goods during their time spent in the mountain areas of Spain. They noticed artisans who had mastered the art of craftsmanship. This led to them creating their own brand of leather accessories which has a global fanbase now. Each piece is handcrafted and takes a minimum of 20 hours to create. Their bags are truly a good investment.
We do really love the signature bar design their bags are fitted with. It’s instantly recognizable and very elegant. The colors used by the brand truely reflect their philosophy of creating the most elegant and sophisticated pieces. From deep green leather to blush pink, color-blocking technique & a unique taste, their bags and accessories will make you fall in love.
