The Studio
Tucked down a little lane, just off the High Street in South Queensferry, you'll find the original Harbour Lane Studio. Like hidden treasure, the best things are always tucked away.
Opening in 2016, Harbour Lane is run by illustrator Tori Gray, the designer and maker behind our homeware range. Harbour Lane Studio started as a way for Tori to get back into the creative industry after losing her way in retail jobs after university. Originally just looking for studio space to flex those creative muscles again, Tori moved back to her home town of South Queensferry and started the hunt for a space to work in. As soon as she walked in to view the studio, she knew it would be perfect. It had old wooden beams, antique bread ovens set into the walls and not a right angle in sight. It was quirky in all the right ways and screaming out to be shown some love.
The only downside was that the space was much too big for one wee illustrator, even if she does come with a lot of art supplies. So after dividing the space into two zones, she got in touch with a range of artists and makers from her uni days and asked if they'd like their work to be stocked in her new shop. And the rest is history!
Fast forward to the current day and Harbour Lane has multiplied (we now have a second store in Fortrose on the Black Isle where Tori works from), Queensferry has grown an extension and almost doubled in size, plus our range now features the work from well over 100 different artists and makers from all over the UK and even employs three other creatives part-time who also juggle their own practices.
We've become known for our range of illustrated homeware which is designed and made by our own fair hands (all the lampshades are still made in the studios!) Our range is always growing with new designs added all the time. It's the perfect way to create a real focal point in your room.
