General information

PURVEYORS OF MENS GOODS

The Brotique is the definitive store for men, set up to offer a tailored selection of products designed to meet the requirements of the modern man.

We select the most useful, unique and authentic products on the market. Whether buying for yourself or looking for inspiration for a present, at The Brotique you will find something awesome.

OUR STUFF
We believe in products that are contemporary and stand the test of time. We like classic, high-quality things that are also a little bit different. Whether you’re looking for a great gift or a useful item for yourself, we have made it easier by selecting things that different lifestyles demand. Whether you are constantly on your bike or prefer to move to your own soundtrack, our products are designed that make life go that little bit smoother. We are always on the look out for cool things, and so we constantly refresh our shelves with new finds. So, whatever the time of year, we’ve got something we know you will love.

FOCUS AREAS
We are the first service to provide gift hampers designed specifically with a man in mind. We call them #MANHAMPERS.

Traditional gift hampers contain wine and cheese. Not so with ours. Choose from an ever-changing selection of options for products to include in each hamper.

We also offer a custom hamper service for events, weddings or whatever the occasion may be.

ETHOS
We source things that aren’t generally available on the high street, gathering inspiration from around the world with a criteria that is unique to us. We love innovation, and we think collaboration with local craftsmen and small businesses is always a good thing.

Each product we choose has its own story and values. Part of that is about premium quality. Part of that is about seeking out products that are a little bit different. The essential thing that we screen for is style and substance, combined.

Supporting a form of retail that is environmentally sustainable is integral to our store. The rapidly changing climate is causing business to adapt and take an increasingly forward looking approach to resources and products. Our green conscience is why we believe in the importance of selling products that are innovative, useful and long-lasting.

BACKSTORY
Our team has a diverse background ranging from fashion to technology. With a passion for design, detail and lasting quality, we selected the initial range of products from stuff that we would want to buy ourselves.

Our store in Stockbridge, Edinburgh, was lovingly refurbished to preserve elements of the 200-year old shop it was before. We opened our doors on the 27th November 2013, and since then business has boomed. At the beginning of 2014 the team has expanded and new product ranges have been introduced.
