Chic shops are waiting for you

The city centre is packed with chic boutiques, just a short walk from Princes Street.

If you have a passion for designer handbags, shoes, clothes, jewellery and lingerie, this could be the summer to jazz up your wardrobe with some of the fashion industry’s top labels.

Take a trip down Thistle Street and you’ll find handbag heaven at Covet.

For a tempting assortment of other international brands including Diane van Fursenberg and Nanette Lepore, pop into Jane Davidson.

Still pounding the pavement in Thistle Street, for that special occasion, follow in the footsteps of Robbie Williams and KT Tunstall and discover how comfortable it is to wear a designer kilt at 21st Century Kilts.

A short walk away is Boobytrap in the West End’s William Street. You’ll find lingerie, swimwear and loungewear from Brazil, France, the UK and the US.

If your purse can still cope you could also try The Cupboard and Arkangel for more heavenly boutique shopping.
