Driven by a love of art, design and fashion, and with a desire to shake up the Edinburgh accessories scene, Covet began in 2007 with the opening of our independent handbag, jewellery and accessories boutique on Thistle Street. From then till now, my passion has been to handpick and champion new Scottish and international designers, forging collaborative relationships and showcasing unique, high quality designer pieces from all over Europe.
Renowned and loved as Edinburgh's 'go-to' accessories destination, Covet is a friendly and vibrant shopping haven for our loyal customers, built on creativity, excellence and impeccable knowledge and service.

Fantastic shop. The owners quite clearly care very dearly about the products they offer and their customers. Very much missing my wanders into the shop on a Saturday afternoon to be met with a smile and an offer of a glass of fizz. They offer great advice about what suits you and your needs if you’re buying for someone else. By far my favourite shop in Edinburgh. Keep up the good work ladies and can’t wait to see you all again in person once we’re out of lockdown x

What a find, in Edinburgh, whilst on a jewllery mission yesterday! Superb selection of all sorts of delights, but for me the sparkly treats by Salome & Bill Skinner sealed the deal. The owner even adjusted one of the necklaces onto another chain so I could wear it both ways. She and her colleague were very friendly and helpful. A delightful shop, and well worth a visit!

If you ever want to look at accessories (mostly purses) that no one else would have. Go here.
Even though the bags cost a fair deal, doesn't mean that you can't own other little accessories. They have headbands, bracelets, earrings, etc that are all so pretty!
My favourite part is their colourful range of change purses. They always spread them out in a way where it looks like a rainbow of delight!
I suggest just walking in to see one of Edinburghs great independent accessory shops!

It would be so easy to not notice this store and walk straight past it, as it is on a little side street. Situated in Thistle Street, Covet is right in the centre of the New Town area of Edinburgh and it is just around the corner from the main shopping street, Princes Street, and so it is a convenient place to reach.
Covet is a luxury bag shop, selling a range of designer bags such as April First, Luana, Angel Jackson and Love Sparkle. I love to come in here and admire all the beautiful bags which I can't afford - handbags cost in the range of £300, and clutch bags cost about £100. There

Oh. My. God. Covet by name, Covet by nature. I almost walked straight past this little shop on Thistle Street until I smelled the top quality leather of the handbags. I back-pedalled, and spent a good 10 minutes practically drooling over the gorgeous handbags and other accessories on display.
I'm not going to lie, there's no way I'll be buying anything from here any time soon. Mainly because there's not an overdraft big enough to make that possible. But one day, when I'm no longer a tax-dodging student and have hopfully managed to get myself a career, this will be my first

Peering through the window of Covet I expected everything to be way out of my budget and that window shopping was my best bet. I spotted a gorgeous hairband with peacock feathers and was amazed that it was only £26, what an absolute steal! They also had gorgeous clutch bags for only £35.
Of course, many of the items are rather pricey with various handbags around the £400 mark but it's good to see that there are some affordable accessories too. I have to be honest, I'm not really a handbag girl, shoes are more my thing but I absolutely adore the accessories here and am tempted to

Boutique handbags, you say? Yes please.
I do love a handbag, but sadly, my most expensive one comes from River Island and it doesn't look like I'll be getting one from here any time soon. But, a girl can dream, can't she?
This little boutique is situated at the beginning of my new favourite place, the hidden gem of Thistle Street, which is lined with cute little boutiques.
Covet has a sleek, designer feel inside and out, and I kind of felt out of place being there. I had a browse though, and I found my new favourite bags by Tabitha, much to my boyfriend's dismay. The Angel

Thistle St is full of lovely little shops that I would like to buy things from, but inevitably can't afford to. Covet is one of these shops and you can tell from the exterior that it sells nicely designed, expensive things.
This is fundamentally a boutique handbag store and the owners have done well to source limited numbers of well-made and beautiful bags from various lesser known European designers. In addition to the lovely bags, there is a small collection of jewelry, this is not cheap either, but is certainly more within my price range than a £450 vessel for my purse.
