Fabulous workshop! Had loads of fun and all the colleagues were helpful, friendly and great at making your drink of choice 😉 absolutely love my bag and will be using it during my stay in Edinburgh.
Please go see the girls at Marshal Street store; Sarah, Kayla, Fiona and Jane for all your islander tweed needs 😍 a must do while your visiting! 🙌🏻
We had a fab time. Ruby, Laura and Mia were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful hosts. There were lots of colours and bag toppers to choose from, lots of time to browse. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. Pricing was explained clearly at the beginning as well. 10/10. Would recommend, especially on a dull day.
I absolutely adored this workshop! We were helped by Ellie and Gill and we just had such a good time. They were so kind but still so silly and they made it so worth much more worth it. Next time I am in Scotland I will do this workshop again!

My daughter-in-law treated me to a bag-making workshop at Islander as a Christmas gift, and it was beyond anything I imagined. The day was therapeutic, great fun, and resulted in the most luxurious bag with a beautiful Scottish theme. I would highly recommend this experience to everyone—it really is something special.
I’ll definitely be going back myself. The team were incredibly friendly and helpful, making it a fantastic day out from start to finish.
What an unforgettable experience! The instructors demonstrated expertise in their field, guiding the class with professionalism, humor, and engaging conversation. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with people from diverse backgrounds, and you leave not only with a wonderful keepsake but also a deep appreciation for the history and craftsmanship behind their offerings.
My daughter-in-law and I visited today and had such a great experience. Charlie and Lauren were incredibly attentive, friendly, and easygoing throughout our visit. They were always available when we needed help, but never pushy—offering helpful suggestions only when asked, which we really appreciated.
We absolutely love our new custom-made handbags—they are beautiful, well-crafted, and exactly what we wanted. Charlie and Lauren even went the extra mile by recommending a store down the street where we could find additional handbags and accessories.
Overall, it was a relaxed, welcoming, and truly enjoyable shopping experience. A wonderful bonding experience for us—highly recommend!
We traveled all the way from Australia, and this was a top priority on our list because it seemed incredible! The staff were exceptionally friendly, and the drinks from the café were delightful. Our instructor was fantastic—so much fun and helpful, truly enhancing our experience.
