The store’s interior design places Gucci’s collections at the forefront, featuring an optical marble flooring inspired by designs in historic buildings, complemented by Gucci Rosso Ancora red, acid green and yellow carpeting, which define various areas within the store.

With a wide assortment of leather accessories available, the space showcases a curated selection of signature handbag lines, including the Jackie 1961, the Horsebit 1955 and the Bamboo 1947 offered in various precious leather variations.

Multrees Walk has also welcomed a number of global brands this year including TAG Heuer, Michael Kors and Mappin & Webb, with Omega due to open later this year elevating the luxury retail offering in the capital.

Fashion fans set to flock to the official open weekend to shop new collections from Vivienne Westwood, Temperley London and Suzanne Neville

Good news for fashion fans – the award-winning Rachel Scott Couture is marking its 20th anniversary with an exciting expansion.

The new boutique will feature a carefully curated selection of eveningwear, bespoke jewellery and accessories from top designers such as Vivienne Westwood, Temperley London and Suzanne Neville, and Scottish style enthusiasts can get an exclusive first look from tomorrow – Thursday 1st February.

Located in the heart of the Scottish capital on Edinburgh’s Queensferry Street, fashion aficionados can book a private appointment at the boutique from Thursday 1st February.

Alternatively, fashionistas can drop in and browse the full collection without an appointment during the open weekend on Saturday 3rd – Sunday 4th February. Here, they can take full advantage of the launch offers which include 20% off all Rachel Scott bespoke jewellery and a £250 discount on Rachel Scott bespoke jewellery pieces with any dress purchase. 

The new premises will showcase a range of colourful cocktails dresses, beautiful black tie gowns and the finest couture formalwear, as well as handcrafted headwear and jewellery for any occasion.

What’s more, the new made-to-order eveningwear collection from celebrity favourite Suzanne Neville will also be available for the first time in Scotland at Rachel Scott Couture.

Speaking ahead of the launch, boutique owner Rachel Snedden explains the benefits of buying made-to-order pieces; “Fit is such a huge issue for many people when buying ‘off-the-rack’ clothing, and even more so when shopping online.

“Now imagine you can have something made to your exact measurements and specifications, for example – you don’t like the neckline, the colour, or you don’t want to have to worry about a bra – we can change it and have it made the way you really want it!”

As well as offering this made-to-order service, the new Rachel Scott Couture boutique will also provide the same exceptional level of expertise and personal attention that has resulted in the couture experts winning an impressive collection of accolades and awards throughout their 20 years in business.
