Jane Davidson was unique in Edinburgh for its independent nature and stocking of unusual, designer brand names for a good long while before Edinburgh advanced its designer retail with Multrees Walk and Harvey Nichols. The clothing store recently won a fashion award recognising its redeeming boutique qualities, and it deserves this accolade for its commitment to fine designer sourcing.
Quality designer garments come at a price, so don't expect to leave here weighed down by shopping bags if you're on any sort of normal salary, but you will probably depart the shop with one, really high quality piece, which is better than a ton of cheap goods that will last all of two seconds.
Diane Von Furstenburg, Herve Leger, Red Valentino, Lulu Guinness and M Missoni drape their delightful features alongside a host of other labels. Last time I visited the shop, my eyes were hypnotised by a silver, sequined dress upstairs, crafted by an Australian designer, obviously to exist purely so that people who are poor at saving money, like me, could marvel at its beauty, then have their heart broken by the price tag.
