From Edinburgh Workshops to Global Spotlight
Strathberry arrived on the scene in 2011 as a quiet disruptor. Founders Guy and Leeanne Hundleby distilled the everyday handbag to its essentials, trading loud logos for a signature bar‑closure that clicked into place like a soft punctuation. Early adopters embraced the minimalism.
Kate Middleton’s Multrees Chain Wallet clutch and Meghan Markle’s East/West Mini crossbody cemented its royal approval, while Jennifer Lopez and Sarah Michelle Gellar were soon spotted carrying its clean lines through Hollywood and New York streets. A 2015 relaunch honed price points and enlisted Spanish ateliers, embedding an aura that’s always felt at home in gallery previews and red‑carpet moments.
This collection reads like the next chapter in that story. Colours shift between the deep richness of oxblood and the chalky warmth of clay, with a vivid marine blue. The season’s new arrivals carry Strathberry’s confidence into new territory, while our curated sale edit proves that earlier favourites remain as compelling as ever.

Styling Guide – Putting Strathberry to Work (and Play)
The Office Edit
Pair the Kite Maxi Black Hobo with sharply tailored suiting in dove grey or navy. Let its generous shape absorb a slim laptop and meeting essentials, then tuck it under your arm as you stride between boardrooms. Add loafers or low-block pumps in tonal leather and a fine‑gauge cashmere roll‑neck for a quietly authoritative finish.
Weekends
For Saturdays and Sundays, sling the Osette Clay Raffia Bucket across a white cotton shirt dress or wide‑leg linen trousers. Contrast the raffia texture with polished white trainers and a lightweight trench in ecru or moss green. Finish with minimalist gold hoops to echo the bag’s drawstring hardware.
Evening & Events
Tuck the Mosaic Nano under your arm alongside fluid silk separates—a bias‑cut slip skirt in midnight blue and a tucked‑in bodysuit in ivory works brilliantly. Keep jewellery architectural—a cuff bracelet or angular studs—to mirror the bag’s graphic pattern. Pointed stilettos in black patent or deep oxblood leather complete the look.
Travel & Transit
Load the Melody Clay Tote with weekend‑away essentials—a pashmina, a paperback and your passport. Wear it over a leather‑trimmed bomber, tapered joggers and slip‑on loafers for seamless airport‑to‑hotel style. A pair of oversized sunglasses and a silk headscarf nod to old‑school glamour without feeling costume.
