Being of half Scottish heritage I love nothing more than finding amazing fashion brands, or basically just anything amazing that originates from my family's homeland. Although I have never been to the beautiful celtic country I still have a subconscious sense of pride about the country and it's people. I hope to one day visit Scotland to see what my ancestors left behind when they began their voyage to the Great White North, but in the meantime I have the Internet...and Strathberry. This amazing Scottish handbag company is a new discovery (and my new I mean like it was mere days ago that I found out they existed) and I honestly don't know what I was doing with my life before this point. The construction, quality and stye of these handbags are every fashion girls dream come true....and at a price tag so tantalizing it's hard to not jump online and buy multiples in one sitting. Gorgeous, hand crafted leather handbags as their specialty, Strathberry of Scotland is a fairly fresh face on the fashion scene (wow enough F's do you think?) but my oh my are they going to make waves. Created in small batches, Strathberry's number one priority is quality and craftsmanship. No mass manufacturing here folks, which is also a new concept in today's modern fashion world where to be big you have to be big (i.e. multiple factories, mass production and plants all over the world).
What turns my crank about these bags is the incredible lines and attention to detail. Every bag is perfectly constructed, in the best quality leather, in the most amazing colours. The signature gold bar across the top of every bag lends an air of consistency, like a signature, and in my mind I have a feeling it will be this little gold bar will be for Strathberry what the Double C is for Chanel or the LV for Louis Vuitton.
So take a look below, because by golly if there is one bag I will be sporting this summer (or more like saving for) it will without a doubt be Strathberry of Scotland.
