Global menswear brand Rodd & Gunn New Zealand is set to open their first Scottish store in Edinburgh.

It’s their first store in Scotland but they have had stores in places such as Manhattan, USA and Toronto, Canada as well as other countries including Australia, France, Italy and Belgium as well as their own homeland. .
The store in George Street spans 864 square feet and is described by the brand as ‘ideal’ for them to house their collections.

The company’s chief executive officer Michael Beagley believes Edinburgh’s culture and beauty attracted them to the Scottish capital.
He said: “Edinburgh’s rich culture and natural beauty spoke to us as a brand that values heritage and quality products. Our opening in Scotland represents an exciting chapter for Rodd & Gunn as we continue to grow our presence within the United Kingdom.”
The store will start with the launch of their Autumn/Winter collection ‘Beyond The Horizon’ which is a collection of chunky woollen ZQRX merino knits, signature outerwear, Italian fabric blazers, pure cotton Oxford shirts and clean cut chinos.
Each of them is crafted in colours such as classic blues, cappuccino camel browns, earthly moss greens and accented with pastel yellows and cream tones to embody the ‘rugged elegance’ of New Zealand.
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
