Will never see my refund money back, call recording without consent management
Strathberry has made some decent bags, of which I have ordered quite a few including the 'Stylist' lately. Compared to the earlier 'Mosaic' or similar models, one can definitely tell, that Strathberry is getting more confident about what level of quality to sell at what price (meaning, the 'Stylist' is not worth its money in my humble opinion). The reason for this review is far worse though:
After weeks without a notification, I finally received a Raffia 'Stylist' that was of very poor quality and all crooked. I submitted a return request, which was approved, telling Strathberry that the refund needs to go to a different bank account as the account it was paid from has been closed. I was provided with a FEDEX shipping label. After again not hearing from them, I asked for the whereabouts of my return, to which they replied it was probably lost and that needed to check with my local post office whether it had been returned t them. I hadn't been (this exercise was also interesting, since the tracking was also available to them and the post office had no more information than what could be told from the tracking number). They finally agreed to refund the bag and AGAIN, I mentioned that the refund needed to go to a different account, to which the reply was that they just can't do that.
Messages about the closure of the account as well as mentioning my frustration with the customer service were just ignored. As a final resort, I called them today and happened to speak to the same person I had been writing emails for.
She mentioned that now it would be too late because the refund had already been issued and that I should go and trace it. She would however ask the 'finance department' what they could do. When I asked her why she didn't check with the 'Finance Department' weeks ago when I first requested the refund to a different account, she kept repeating that this was not in her power. It was like talking to a wall. (The only thing she did react to was, when I said, that I was beginning to lose my sh** here and that this was beyond frustrating and she threatened with management to get involved because of swearing and that all call would be recorded (which is also interesting, as it was not announced at the beginning of the call, so definitely a data protection issue). I told her to please get management involved as they might be able to finally help and to PLEASE also show them month-old email chain.
In a nutshell: This customer service is not living up to what the brand claims to be.
Update: My refund is gone, will never see it again, Strathberry has obviously not followed up as promised. I wish I could upload pictures of the quality of the returned bag on here. It was crooked and looked like a cheap bag from a Bali beachside shop. Have also read several other comments about this on here. Turns out that the lady on the phone also lied about call recording as Strathberry has later confirmed there is no such thing. Really professional.
Never again.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We are very sorry to read how frustrating this experience has been for you and that it has caused you such concern.
Regarding your return, once we had been made aware of the delay in this reaching us, we raised an investigation with the carrier. Unfortunately, this investigation was inconclusive, as there was no recorded movement showing the parcel arriving at our warehouse. While we understand how worrying this must have been, we proceeded in good faith to resolve the matter and issued your refund.
Regarding your refund, as confirmed and stated on our returns policy, refunds can only be processed back to the original payment method used at checkout. For security and fraud-prevention reasons, we are unable to redirect funds to a completely different bank account, and exceptions cannot be made to this policy.
We appreciate your concern regarding the original account being closed. In most cases, when a bank account linked to a card has been closed, the card issuer is still able to receive returned funds and either transfer them to a new account or contact the account holder directly. Occasionally, there may be a delay before the refund appears; this timeframe is determined by the card issuer and is outside of Strathberry’s control.
Our Finance Team has reviewed the transaction and confirmed that it completed successfully and without any errors in our system. The funds have therefore left us and are now with the payment provider/bank network. In the unlikely event that the payment is rejected by the bank, the funds would automatically be returned to Strathberry, at which point we would be able to contact you to arrange the next steps.
We are genuinely sorry that this experience has left you feeling disappointed. While our Customer Care team must operate within established policies and system limitations, we regret that our communication did not meet your expectations on this occasion.

Absolutely outstanding
Absolutely outstanding. Georgina in Victoria Street, Edinburgh is the best sales person you could ever wish to be served by. She took an enquiry from me months ago in preparation for my first visit to Edinburgh and knowing I wanted to buy my first bag in Scotland where it was designed. She gave me a ton of recommendations and assisted with all my questions before my visit and then the appointment was just wonderful to be in store and make my selection. She then kept everything safe for me to the following day and arranged for it to be sent to me as I couldn’t take it with me on the plane. I can’t say enough that she was amazing and the bag I bought was gorgeous.

Gorgeous bags from Strathberry
I've purchased two bags from Strathberry and couldn't be happier with them! The mosaic bag is practical, unique and gorgeous and top notch quality. The midi tote is another stunner and wonderful for evenings out and when you want to take your outfit to the next level. Love them both and receive compliments every time I use them. The midi-tote was delivered in 2 days (I live in Canada) and beautifully packaged, accompanied with a red wallet as a gift. Thank you Strathberry!

Creating a special unboxing experience is very important to us, and we thank you for your positive feedback, hopefully exceeding expectations.
I would highly recommend!
I recently purchased a handbag from Strathberry and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. From start to finish, everything felt premium and thoughtfully handled. The website was easy to navigate, checkout was seamless, and delivery was prompt and beautifully packaged.
The craftsmanship of the bag is outstanding! The leather feels luxurious, the stitching is flawless, and the signature hardware gives it such an elegant, timeless look. It’s clear that a lot of attention to detail goes into every piece. I’ve already received so many compliments!
Customer service was also excellent. I had a quick question before ordering and received a friendly, helpful response almost immediately.
I wouldn’t hesitate to order again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for sophisticated, well-made accessories.

My first experience was a bit bumpy because my bag had a small issue that bothered me (my husband wanted to gift me something special and chose Strathberry). We contacted customer service, and they were incredibly quick and friendly. They carefully checked the replacement bag to make sure it arrived spotless and it did!
Shipping was super fast, and exchanging the bag was completely hassle-free (customs wasn’t an issue either). They even followed up with us afterward, which pleasantly surprised me.
I absolutely love the Kite bag and can’t wait to wear it! I’ve always wanted a gorgeous suede leather bag, even though suede can be delicate, but I’m really glad I chose Strathberry because their service was excellent.

This was a great little find. Wasn't looking for a new bag but how could I resist. A great selection of bags and the staff were very friendly and helpful without being pushy. Handbag well packaged in a beautiful bag and box. I will definitely be coming back or looking online

Amazing quality and beautifully made bags. Customer service was immediately responsive and so helpful. I’ve purchased three bags from Strathberry and love every one—especially the Mosaic and anything they do in raffia. Their neutral colors are perfection. Highly recommend!
