The stripykat story 

About Katie

I have loved design, handbags and accessories for a very long time. My training started at the Scottish College of Textiles in Galashiels, where I studied for (and got!) a degree in Textile and Fashion Design.

Since then I built on my design background by my work for Jenners – the world's oldest department store as well as following my nose and travelling the country as a perfume buyer.

From using my nose for work, I continued using my art and design training and became a director for an independent interior design company in Edinburgh. This allowed me to again indulge my passion for fabric and design, while helping to run all aspects of the business.My team and I spent someone else's money (be it wisely!) on all things lovely for a wide range of commercial show homes and individual's homes. Designing and shopping for a living, it's every girl's dream!

stripykat is born

But meanwhile while all this was going on, stripykat was bubbling away behind the scenes.

So stripykat was established to provide you with bags and accessories that are completely one of a kind. I aim to create something different, something unique and something singularly special in it's design. Failing that, I will craft something you can carry your sandwiches around in in style!
