Inspired by the beauty found in the understated, our collections of leather handbags are made to last a lifetime and not just a season.
Established in 2013 by designer Cathleen Nicol and based in the Scottish Highlands, our brand aesthetic straddles contemporary and heritage. The use of high-grade leathers from tanneries with sustainable practises, and luxury textiles from Scotland woven with attention to detail, clean lines and subtle branding are all key to our brand ethos.
Cathleen Nicol
In 2013 I'd just completed two short course programmes with London College of Fashion when I started on the journey to creating what would become Highland handbag brand, C.Nicol. Beautiful leather and other textiles, simplicity, quality and functionality are all key elements in the design and production of our bags. If you'd like to know more about me or C.Nicol, please get in touch.

SBCC
Launched by the Scottish Business Climate Collaboration in 2023, the Climate Action Hub exists to help small and medium sized Scottish Businesses acheive Net Zero. We take our commitments the environment seriously. We are proud to be one of just a handful of Scottish businesses to have achieved silver status with SBCC and we are working towards gold in 2024.
Leather
The leather we use on our bags comes from Italian tannery, Faeda, established in 1956. We work with this tannery due to their ongoing commitment to the environment, continually trying to improve how they produce their excellent quality leather. You can find out all about their certifications and environmental commitments using the link below.
