The Edinburgh Reporter Advent Calendar – Gifts for her – Covet

December 15, 2011 10:30 am

Covet is another little gem off the high street. It is run by Blaise and Anna who delight in the range of goodies that they have on offer in their shop or online where you can even shop by colour as well as by designer or the kind of accessory you are looking for.

Anna and Blaise have been friends since 1998 when they met working in an Edinburgh restaurant and enjoyed a vibrant social scene together.

Over many years and many bottles of wine, the girls combined their passions for fashion, art and business and opened an exclusive designer handbag and accessory boutique. Disillusioned with the lack of independent stores bridging the gap between the high street and high end fashion labels, they were keen to change the pattern of shopping in Edinburgh by offering an alternative – truly unique and one off pieces sourced from all over Europe at an affordable price.

Covet is like nowhere else – it’s a place to relax and unwind and play dress up – a space for you to express yourself and delight in finding ‘a little Covet gem’ that helps you to define who you are without saying a word. Covet officially launched on 6th December 2007 on the charming Thistle Street in Edinburgh’s city centre.
