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 the contemporary and our Highland 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.

Our bags are carefully made in small batches and you may find from time to time a waiting list for certain styles and colours - you can join the waiting list and we will notify you when these bags become available.

Holly

One of the first bags created by designer Cathleen, and firmly a C.Nicol bestseller online and in stores. The Holly mini bucket bag is chic and deceptively spacious with a fixed shoulder strap and inner cross body strap.
