St James Quarter in Edinburgh has announced that premium stationery retailer, Moleskine, is set to join the destination in the coming months, marking the brand’s only location outside of London – and its Scottish debut.
Set to occupy a unit on Level 3 of just under 1,000sq ft and joining Ryman Designs in extending the destination’s stationery offer, Moleskine brings with it the brand’s high-quality range of notebooks, planners and stationery as well as its latest store concept.
Already boasting a strong demographic of Scottish customers, the new Moleskine store is also set to offer customers bespoke personalisation, calligraphy events and crafting workshops.
Anne Ledgerwood, estate director for St James Quarter, commented: “St James Quarter has firmly signposted itself both as a desirable location for high-quality brands, and as a key destination for retailers as they move out of the capital and into Scotland. Moleskine brings with it a fresh design that aligns with our commitment to constant evolution, allowing us to ensure our loyal consumers continue to have their needs met by our leading tenant mix.”
Christophe Archaimbault, CEO of Moleskine, added: “Moleskine is thrilled to be opening its first store in Scotland at St James Quarter. Edinburgh is such a culturally vibrant and rich city and a perfect fit for our brand values. A city of ideas and creativity, where we look forward to welcoming aficionados of the brand as well as those who have yet to discover the unique world of Moleskine where we invite you to put pen to paper and unleash your genius.”
This announcement follows the news that St James Quarter has welcomed award-winning retail concept, Curated Makers, to the destination ahead of the golden quarter. Already known for championing independent makers and small businesses, the retailer has launched a pop-up among Level 3’s line-up of aspirational brands and added a distinct point of difference to the scheme.
