Strathberry is an Edinburgh based luxury label founded in 2013. We create leather goods, handcrafted in Spain by the finest artisans, using high quality materials. Strathberry products are defined by clean lines and a signature bar closure. Captivated by the craftspeople they encountered during their travels in Spain, Guy and Leeanne Hundleby were inspired to create a luxury label in their native Scotland. With no formal training, they began making intricate paper models of their bag designs inspired by the iconic bar closure found on a vintage music case. Their dedication to creating a product of unparalleled design and quality has attracted collaborators from the global fashion community, who are are now permanent members of the Strathberry family.
schuh is a shoe shop. That much you probably already knew. You probably didn't know that we were born in Edinburgh in 1981 with a simple philosophy: "To provide individual high fashion footwear, sold in a unique and exciting retail environment" Since then, that simple philosophy is still holding true, only we now have over 100 stores across the UK and Ireland, a highly successful website as well as a glittering trophy cabinet that tells us that we're pretty good at selling shoes. The secret behind this success is closely guarded, but it comes from having nice people, hardwork and dedication.
Made is a small shop with a track record of creating real momentum for big brands. We do this through strategic vision, creative excellence, and an approach that actually makes sense in today's radically unpredictable marketing landscape. We don't have a rigid process for solving business problems, or a cumbersome financial engagement model. Instead, we have a talented, experienced group of people who are eager to collaborate, and unwavering in their commitment to getting results. ***After 11 years in business, Made has closed its doors. A heartfelt thanks to all the clients we worked with, and godspeed to all the amazing people who called this place home.***
Why we do what we do? Because everyone deserves great pizza, that’s why. It’s a simple idea, but a noble cause that’s behind everything we do at Ooni. We’re working our wee socks off and won’t rest until there’s an Ooni pizza oven in the backyard of every person everywhere. What we do: We design, make and sell AMAZING pizza ovens. They’re so AMAZING that lower-case adjectives just don’t do them justice. Right now, we sell our pizza ovens all over the world. Hot and fast is how you cook truly great pizza, and- all of our models get hot as hell (that’s 932°F/500°C last time we checked) and cook incredible pizza in only 60 seconds. Before Ooni, if you wanted pizza that good, you had to go to a restaurant or spend thousands on a traditional pizza oven. Not anymore, friends. Work with us: We have a 300-plus-strong multi-national team who are busy designing, selling, branding, internet-ing, events-ing, supporting, marketing, welding, shipping, financing, photographing and dancing (probably) to make magic happen. Ooni is a beautiful machine that grows and learns every day, and it’s really freaking amazing to be a part of it all.
