Marshall Street.
The most amazing experience! I would 100% recommend it!! The staff are really helpful and really friendly,(they guide you through the different stages of making your bag) and most of all ensure that you leave with the most perfect and unique bag of your dreams. The coffee shop is incredible! I highly recommend the warm Matcha Latte with lavender syrup! 😍 if you visit Edinburgh make sure this experience is your top priority! You will not regret it! Thank you so much for Being a major highlight of my time here in this stunning city.
Stockbridge.
Today I just so happen to walk into this beautiful little shop, it was walk in no appointment needed. The shop worker was so patient, kind and helpful. I decided to create my own bag and she really took her time explaining everything and checking to make sure the screws were tight enough before moving to the next steps which I appreciated. All in all it was a wonderful experience thanks to her and I’m so glad I stumbled across this small shop, when I come back to Scotland I’ll definitely be coming here for my accessories
St Andrews
We loved our bag making experience with Zoe at Islander, St Andrew’s. She was incredibly knowledgeable and patient with our group and shared stories and the history of the brand while we worked. This will be a wonderful family memory for our family for years to come! We were the last group of the day and never felt rushed. Customer service was wonderful when one in our group couldn’t make the booking. 10/10 overall experience. Highly recommend.
Flagship.

Fantastic customer service will highly recommend to my family and friends. So happy with my bag.😀
Canongate.
Absolutely brilliant experience with wonderful staff. From start to finish we were all made to feel welcome.
It was so much fun and I'm already planning what bag to make next!
