"It's so thrilling to see Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge disembarking in our hometown with one of our brand new Strathberry designs," said Strathberry owner and co-founder Leeanne Hundleby. "We're completely overjoyed and honoured that she chose to support a small, independent Scottish brand during her visit to Scotland.
"Her endorsement means the world to us, and she looks incredibly beautiful and sophisticated, as always."

The duke and duchess have a full schedule for Dec. 7, and the 38-year-old wore the same chic look to meet members of the Scottish Ambulance Service Response Centre in Newbridge.
Blue has always been one of Kate's favourite colours, but the stylish royal, along with the rest of the Cambridge family, has been wearing the shade more than ever in 2020 as the world battles COVID-19. Many have seen it as a sign of her support of the National Health Service (NHS) and other frontline workers.
