Our Icon styles have paved the way for Strathberry, creating a curated collection of timeless bags that transcend seasons and trends. This month we wanted to shine some light on these iconic styles that we all love just as much now as the first day they were introduced into our collection…
The Strathberry Tote is where the story began. It is inspired by a vintage music folio that our founders, Guy and Leeanne, discovered. This timeless silhouette introduced the signature Music Bar hardware, which is now iconically Strathberry and is included in every design.
Still to this day, the music folio sits proudly in our Library at the heart of our Edinburgh Townhouse, reminding us where the journey began.
Iterations of the music bar can now be seen in all our collections. We spoke to Scott, a design team member, to get some insider stats on how our iconic styles are crafted….
The signature Music Bar can be seen in the hardware of our bags…how many hardware pieces make up the Midi Tote?
Scott: “There are 19 pieces of hardware in the Midi Tote.”
How many pattern pieces make up the Mosaic Nano?
Scott: “There are 63 pattern pieces that make up a Mosaic nano. The Mosaic Nano is inspired by the works of Eduardo Paolozzi, with 22 pieces of leather used in total.”
How many stitches are used to bring all the pieces together?
Scott: “It takes 7500 stitches to bring all the leather pieces together, along with 4 layers of edge paint - from start to finish, the Mosaic Nano passes through the hands of 9 different artisans.
