Scotland‘s ‘Hide & Seek’ today…

Here at Mackenzie we’re always delighted to feature in editorials. From annual publications and monthly magazines, to artisan books and coffee table hardbacks. Written features help spread the leathercraft word, and this latest feature from Scotland magazine is a delightful showcase of our brand.

With photography and words by Jeremy Flint, the piece paints a coherent portrait of our home of handmade luxury.

Edinburgh has always been at the heart of leather manufacture in Scotland, where its tanneries, skins and products have developed significantly since the production of leather articles during the late 18th century..

Today, the leather industry in Scotland still thrives, and Simon Harvey-Potts is living proof. I met this exceptional master craftsman, who specialises in making the finest leather goods, at his workshop on St Mary’s Street in Edinburgh’s Old Town, just off the Royal Mile.

The beautiful, bespoke leather products are designed, made and sold exclusively in store, where visitors can enjoy a glimpse into the craft through the open-view workshop at the back of the showroom.

Leather is the key ingredient to Simon’s products, which combine beauty, comfort and practicality. Mackenzie Leather products are designed from the best quality raw materials, with hides sourced from Italy, Spain and the UK that arrive tanned and ready to shape into leather goods.

Simon says:
“I am proud of the Mackenzie family. We apply quality, passion and atmosphere to everything we do.”

Pick up your copy of Scotland May/June issue to read the full article. Available to read in print only, and in shops now.
