Osprey London's new flagship a treasure trove of leather, fashion, home and lifestyle products.

British brand Osprey London’s new flagship store on Regent Street in the capital is a shopping destination that features an eclectic mix of leather goods, accessories and unusual lifestyle products.  

Apart from the craftily made leather bags that the brand is known for, and timeless fashion accessories such as silk scarfs, cashmere knitwear and jewellery, there are unique furniture, decorative hand-made gifts and bespoke designs.  Many of the products would not be out of place in a taxidermy shop or a museum even.  Some may allow your mind to go travel a bit when you learn of the stories behind them – where the inspiration came from, how or where the product was conceived and made. But ultimately it feels like a thoughtful home filled with treasures found or sourced from different parts of the UK and around the world indeed.

To celebrate the new store, which was officially opened on April 4^th, is the launch of an exclusive range of ladies’ bags.  Founder and designer Graeme Ellisdon’s new Equestrian Leather Collection is made from opulent Vachetta leather and features saddlery-inspired Italian craftsmanship.

The new collection takes pride of place in a distinctive display in the new 5000 square foot store in a Grade 2 listed building.  Situated merely a stone’s throw from Piccadilly Circus opposite the Lilywhite’s store, the new two-story space was previously occupied by Barclays Bank since 1923. Designer Graeme and his wife Alex have created a unique space that is true to the spirit of the building.  

As the brand’s diversifying product portfolio that includes bespoke furniture, fragrances and candles, the range now also embraces a selective range of food products spanning from olive oil to apple juice, honey and condiments, the shop includes the Saddlery Café in the lower ground floor, a hospitality concept that first originated in the brand's St. Albans location in 2011. There are seating areas in spaces that were the former bank's vaults. Surely you are encouraged not just to visit and shop but linger and chill out in this lovely store.
