Strathberry: Quiet By Design

Strathberry has always spoken in a measured voice. Defined by sculptural silhouettes, discreet branding, and signature hardware, the Edinburgh-based global brand operates on a principle of quiet confidence — luxury that doesn’t need to declare itself.

The brand’s beginnings were far from conventional. Rather than a boardroom or atelier, the idea took shape along the sun-washed shores of southern Spain, where the couple were living with their young children. “We spent many evenings visiting markets along the beachfronts, where we saw artisans showcasing beautifully handcrafted leather wallets, purses and belts,” they recalled. “We were struck by the skill and the pride that went into each piece. We simply fell in love with the craft.”
