Luxury lifestyle brand Canada Goose is to open its first Scottish store in Edinburgh.
The firm describes itself as 'among the most innovative and luxurious providers of outwear' in the world, with products including the Chilliwack Bomber, which was originally designed for pilots in the Arctic and retails at £1,150.
The brand, which is a favourite with celebrities including Tom Hardy, Rihanna and Jennifer Lopez, is to open on Multrees Walk, seen as the focal point for luxury shopping in Scotland's capital city.
The two-storey store, which is due to open in the Autumn, will feature bespoke furniture handcrafted using Harris Tweed by Richard England of Glencairn Furniture.
Founded in 1957 in a small warehouse in Toronto, the firm says its aim "to keep the planet cold and the people on it warm" is embedded across every aspect of the company’s operations.
Last month, it announced a commitment to end the use of all fur in its products.
The opening will follow the launch of two stores in Germany this year, making it the seventh in the European market, with Munich scheduled to open later this summer.
Canada Goose is currently suing one of its competitors, Goose Country, a New York luxury brand, claiming it has copied its designs.
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
