Rodd & Gunn Brings New Zealand Style to Edinburgh’s George Street

There’s a new arrival in Scotland. New Zealand’s iconic menswear brand, Rodd & Gunn, has opened the doors to its first Scottish store, right in the heart of Edinburgh on the city’s prestigious George Street. As the city buzzes with the world-renowned Fringe Festival, Rodd & Gunn’s arrival couldn’t be more perfectly timed.

The new store offers a relaxed, refined shopping experience. Spread across 864 square feet of historic Georgian architecture, the Edinburgh store is the perfect setting for showcasing Rodd & Gunn’s timeless collections. A seamless fusion of classic design and modern craftsmanship provides a fitting backdrop for this New Zealand fashion brand that blends its heritage with a contemporary edge.

This expansion into Edinburgh is a significant move in a year of international growth. Following flagship openings in Manhattan and Toronto, Rodd & Gunn continues to solidify its global presence. 

Speaking about the new store, CEO Michael Beagley said, “Edinburgh’s rich culture and natural beauty spoke to us as a brand that values heritage and quality. Opening in Scotland represents an exciting chapter for Rodd & Gunn as we continue to grow within the UK.”

With over 75 years of experience, Rodd & Gunn is celebrated for its commitment to quality craftsmanship and sustainability. The brand’s seamless combination of New Zealand heritage and modern design resonates with those seeking both style and substance. The Edinburgh store will introduce locals to Rodd & Gunn’s second-to-none garment construction, offering pieces that are both versatile and enduring.

The store’s grand opening coincides with the launch of its Autumn/Winter 24/25 collection, Beyond The Horizon. Expect chunky New Zealand ZQRX merino wool knits, sharp Italian fabric blazers, classic Oxford shirts, and tailored chinos – all crafted in a rich palette of earthy browns, deep blues, and moss greens, with subtle pops of pastel yellow and cream. These designs reflect the rugged yet elegant landscapes of New Zealand, offering Scottish shoppers something truly distinctive.

Stepping into the store, customers will find themselves immersed in a slice of New Zealand, with thoughtfully curated furnishings, vintage artwork, and creative design touches that evoke the brand’s origins.
