Anna Somerville and Blaise Donald who own and run Covet the independent accessories boutique on Thistle St are magicians. They seem able to source the loveliest of items, suitable for gifts (if you can bear to part with them!) and then they pack more than seems possible into their shop.
Now you can join in their birthday celebrations on 6 December – see below for details of how to win £1100 of shopping in their store.
Their shops is a treasure trove of designer accessories, handbags and jewellery cherry picked from all over Europe. Their ethos is to showcase less well known brands and independent makers with an emphasis on craftsmanship and quality.
This is shown off best by the shop’s own collection of handbags handcrafted in Spain from the finest Italian leathers.
Anna is an award-winning artist too. She has produced a range of 100% fine wool scarves, with sections of her oil paintings printed onto them. At £69 Art scarves come with a small card with the details of the painting and the artist making this a unique and stylish Christmas gift.
Covet will celebrates its 11th birthday on 6 December with a huge birthday party which will continue over the weekend.
