Bags brand Cambridge Satchel is back in Edinburgh with its latest store, its fifth UK retail space.
The 48 sq m store is in Edinburgh's Georgian New Town, located between the historic shopping destinations Princes and George Streets and next door to another heritage brand, Barbour. The label previously had an Edinburgh store on George Street.
The new location comes after the label also recently opened down south in Windsor and is in addition to its existing stores in London's Covent Garden, in Cambridge, and in Leeds.
Overseen by Cambridge Satchel CEO Carine De Koenigswarter, the new space was designed by architects Atelier A&D. It takes inspiration from the surrounding area with a palette of light greys and natural woods and the company says it's both a nod to British heritage and local Scottish influences.
There's walnut panelling and warm wall colours 'to create an inviting and sophisticated backdrop that envelopes the feature wall cases and low units displaying the Cambridge Satchel's signature leather goods'.
The façade has been upgraded and repainted in a deep oxblood red colour with a discreet backlit golden Cambridge Satchel sign. The front window is decorated with a series of wired metal cubes, custom built in Sheffield using Sheffield steel, 'adding a unique touch of industrial luxury to the historical location'.
The product offer at the store includes the regular Cambridge Satchel line for women and men, plus 'exclusively designed product tailored towards the Scottish capital'. These include a Build-Your-Own Highland Cow key charm alongside British favourites like Corgi and Guardsman charms. There's also a Cambridge Satchel embossing service that allows customers to further personalise purchases.
De Koenigswarter said: 'We have huge ambitions for the leather goods brand and these are coming to fruition through our continued retail expansion both in the UK and internationally with our recently opened Leeds, Windsor and Paris stores.'
