This clutch has been named after Strathberry’s new flagship store on the iconic Edinburgh luxury shopping destination, Multrees Walk, which opened its doors back in December.

The clutch, which retails at £255 is available in five colourways.

"It feels especially wonderful and exciting as she chose again our hometown of Edinburgh to endorse a local and independent business during her visit to Scotland.
