will
know
that
it
is
one
of
the
areas
enhancing
Edinbur
gh8217s
flourishing
retail
reputation.
As
a
place
to
stroll,
window
shop,
and
ultimately
splur
ge,
it
has
a
rarefied
atmos-
phere
without
being
at
all
stuffy
or
ex
clu-
sive.
It
can
be
choosy
about
the
brands
that
join
its
already
stellar
cast,
however
,
and
recent
additions
are
testament
to
the
breadth
of
designer
brands
that
the
city
is
now
attracting.
The
brand
Firetrap
will
be
familiar
with
the
casually
style-conscious,
as
the
label
has
been
available
in
independent
clothing
shops
for
many
years
now
.
The
store
is
as
stylish
as
the
creations,
which
are
far
from
being
restricted
to
a
particular
demo-
graphic.

as

an
evening
out
where
dress-
ing

means
dressing

a
little.
The
lure
of
the
shoe
is
irresistible
to
many
,
and
the
name
Ku
rt
Geiger
will
have
footwear
fans
foaming
at
the
mouth.
The
shop
itself
is
a
shrine
to
what
can
be
done
with
a
few
strips
of
leather
and
a
lot
of
imagination.
With
classic
styles
forming
the
backbone
of
the
collection,
Ku
rt
Geiger
never
shies
away
from
offering
styles
which
the
more
adventurous
will
lust

ter:
funky
,
clever
and
more
comfortable
than
they
should
be.

oasis,

comes
from
its
ability
to

The

contains
high
