Strathberry is one of Britain's fastest-growing luxury leather goods brands, renowned for its Scottish design, Spanish craftsmanship, and timeless minimalist aesthetic. Founded in 2013 by Guy and Leeanne Hundleby, the Edinburgh-based maison has built an international following by combining elegant silhouettes with meticulous artisanal construction. Every Strathberry bag is designed in Scotland and handcrafted in Spain by skilled leather artisans.
Known for combining architectural silhouettes, premium Spanish leather, understated elegance, and the signature Music Bar hardware, Strathberry has created modern icons including the Mosaic, The Tote, Lana Osette, Multrees, Charlotte, Lana Bucket, East/West, and Nano Tote. The instantly recognizable Music Bar closure has become one of contemporary luxury's most distinctive design signatures.
Today, Strathberry continues expanding globally while remaining proudly Scottish at heart, with its Edinburgh Townhouse serving as both creative studio and brand headquarters. The brand has become a favorite among royalty, celebrities, and luxury buyers seeking quiet elegance without overt logos.

Founded in 2013, Strathberry was born after husband-and-wife team Guy and Leeanne Hundleby recognized an opportunity to create luxury handbags that combined Scottish design sensibilities with exceptional Spanish leather craftsmanship. Inspired by Edinburgh's architecture and the artisans of Ubrique, Spain, they created a brand focused on timeless quality rather than seasonal trends.
The name Strathberry reflects the founders' Scottish heritage: "Strath" refers to a broad Scottish river valley, while berries historically supplied natural dyes for Scottish textiles. Every bag is still designed at the Edinburgh Townhouse before being handcrafted in Ubrique, one of Europe's most respected leather-making regions. The brand gained worldwide attention after Meghan Markle carried a Strathberry tote during her first royal engagement in 2017, launching the company onto the global luxury stage.
Key Milestones:
• 2013: Guy and Leeanne Hundleby found Strathberry in Edinburgh.
• 2017: Meghan Markle carries the Midi Tote, creating the brand's international breakthrough.
• 2024: Opens its new Edinburgh flagship Townhouse.
• 2025: Launches the Georgia family and expands international retail distribution.
• 2026: Expands through pop-ups at GINZA SIX, Liberty London, and introduces the Strathberry x AAKS collaboration alongside new seasonal collections.
