Sustainable copy Why choose Mackenzie Leather?

Local & Sustainable

Local craftsmanship combined with sustainable manufacturing techniques. A love story for the modern retail age! And Mackenzie marries the two in perfect harmony.

Our HQ is located in Edinburgh’s Old Town, and our flagship store is also home to our workshop. This prime location offers both locals and tourists a chance to easily experience our brand in-person. Ideal for both planned visits, and chance encounters!

The manufacturing methods you’ll find on display when you visit are traditional practices. Sustainability plays a key role in the day-to-day running of the brand, from raw material through to delivery out the door. Read more about our sustainable endeavours in the dedicated Shop Consciously with Mackenzie Leather post.

 

Design Why choose Mackenzie Leather?

Luxury design with lifetime care

A Mackenzie-made bag is a bag designed to last for life, not for a season.

Every single design has been meticulously tried and tested, prototyped and fine-tuned, to engineer a final model worthy of the Mackenzie name. Each style is considered a classic. You’ll find no seasonal trends here!

You may even notice some of our designs transcend across various models. For instance, the main structure of the Rucksack also forms the body of the Holyrood. Two very different end bags, crafted utilising shared core construction methods.

What’s more, the advantage of knowing every single piece that leaves the workshop bench, is the ability to offer a lifetime of care. Our handmade leather bags are fully guaranteed against defective workmanship and materials. And if your bag ever needs repairing after the years of love and use, we offer a full repair and refurbishment service.
