We all know how this then-relatively unknown Edinburgh bag label shot to fame the instant Meghan Markle was spotted with the Strathberry bag at her first public appearance after her engagement was announced. But the American actress (and now Duchess of Sussex) isn’t the only inspiring figure to be associated with the brand. Strathberry has now launched an exclusive capsule collection with the super cool Korean longboarding sensation, Ko Hyojoo.

Coming in two limited edition versions of the iconic Strathberry model, a midi and nano, the special edition is outlined in dainty watercolour floral patterns painted by the skater herself. They also occupy the bottom of the bag, meant to resemble a longboard.
