Kate Middleton Favorite, Strathberry, Collaborates With Collagerie
LONDON — Luxury leather goods label Strathberry, a brand beloved of the Princess of Wales, has collaborated with online shopping platform Collagerie to create a capsule that highlights stripes of all sorts — in statement stitching, on silk scarves, or printed on canvas.
“We’ve long been Strathberry fans. It’s a family-run, Scottish business whose designs are manufactured by Spanish artisans, so it has that mix of local heritage and global craftsmanship which is so central to Collagerie’s own vision,” said Lucinda Chambers, Collagerie’s cofounder.

“For this collection, we took that shared spirit and ran with it, amplifying the color via rainbow-striped canvas and exaggerating the artisanal mood with whipstitch detail, while retaining Strathberry’s overall aesthetic and statement hardware” Chambers added.
The capsule also heralds the release of a new Strathberry silhouette, a bag called Bollo. Named after the Spanish word for bun, the bag is crafted in Strathberry’s Andalusian workshops.
The collection includes the Bollo, which comes in two sizes and four colors; a wristlet with a small pouch attached, and a skinny scarf made with two patterns. Prices range from $110 to $695.
The relationship between the brands goes back to Collagerie’s launch in 2019. The platform was founded by Chambers, formerly fashion director at British Vogue, and Serena Hood, former executive fashion director at British and U.S. Vogue.
At the time, Collagerie partnered with Strathberry to create four handbags and small accessories.
Strathberry’s owner and cofounder Leeanne Hundleby said “working with Lucinda and Serena on this collection has been an incredibly rewarding experience. We cherish our relationship with them and the team and I have enjoyed seeing Collagerie thriving since we partnered with them for their launch back in 2019.”
