A SCOTTISH family business has launched in Harrods in Edinburgh.
East Lothian-based ethical vegan hair care products maker Moo & Yoo was set up by salon owner Suzie Gillespie, her daughter Olivia, husband Scott and son Ali.
Ms Gillespie said: “Olivia was keen to be involved, with her passion for sustainability and a business degree behind her she was up for the challenge. Before long the whole family had joined in the journey and Moo & Yoo was born.”
Edinburgh’s new shopping quarter hosts the store’s inaugural branch of its standalone beauty concept north of the Border.
The St James Quarter hailed the earlier launch of the first H Beauty store opening in Scotland.
Suzie and Olivia said: “We are delighted to make our debut in the brand new Harrods Beauty store at Edinburgh St James Quarter.
“Joining the Harrods community in the city where our family business all started is a dream come true and we are thrilled to be a part of the new store launch."
Thet added: "We have always known that our products are very special and to be recognised and stocked in the world's most luxurious store is something that we are incredibly proud of.
"Moo & Yoo has strong sustainable values and we are very grateful that Harrods recognise this. This opportunity has created a platform for independent businesses like ours to be accessible and created a space for sustainable products to be more available to consumers.
"Harrods is synonymous with quality and luxury and we are delighted that our luxurious hair care products will be on the shelves of this iconic store.”

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
