Cambridge Satchel opens in Edinburgh
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.'

Loewe opens first Austrian flagship store in Vienna
Loewe has launched its own retail destination in Austria: The Spanish luxury brand recently opened its first store in Vienna as a flagship location in the country. In the middle of Kohlmarkt, one of Vienna's central shopping streets known for its luxury stores, Loewe presents a comprehensive range of women's and men's fashion, bags, accessories, shoes, small leather goods, glasses, and jewellery as well as scarves and shawls in a sales area measuring 347 m². The interior of Loewe's new store mixes textures, colours, and shapes with handmade ceramic tiles in shades of brown, green, white, and silver which harmonise with tactile marble. Other materials used, such as oak, brass, and concrete, contrast with the soft opulence of linen and velvet textiles. In store, a curated selection of furniture rounds off the space: the organic shapes of chairs by George Nakashima and filigree N33 and Akari 1A lamps by Isamu Noguchi complement the angular lines of Utrecht chairs by Gerrit Thomas Rietveld. The store also features Berin Club armchairs and antique Spanish ceramic vessels. Signature Loewe designs, including a table made of recycled leather and a bench made of quilted leather, are intended to underline the brand's focus on high-quality manufacturing. Custom-made wool carpets from Spain, featuring reproductions of abstract landscapes by British textile artist John Allen, round off the interior. In the new Vienna store, Loewe also presents a selection of pieces from its own art and design collection: these include four paintings by Canadian artist Silas Borsos, whose softly coloured fruit still life renderings - "The Misunderstanding", "Marmalade Muses", "Green Orchestra", and "Sundial" - play with the boundary between abundance and the threat of decay. A series of seven works by British potter Ian Godfrey playfully stages a questioning of ritual and form. Ten sculptures by Korean metalworker Jaiik Lee (finalist of the Loewe Foundation Craft Prize 2023) glow as if each piece is in the midst of a transformation. Elsewhere, the painting Adoration (2024) by American artist Ian Felice is reminiscent of a fragment of a dream.
