A timeless piece from Scottish leather brand C Nicol could be yours — enter now to win the effortlessly elegant Holly 2.0 in Latte
The Holly 2.0 in Latte is the definition of a modern classic — effortlessly versatile, beautifully made and designed to last far beyond a single season.
To celebrate the launch of our new podcast, we’ve partnered with one of our incredible sponsors, C Nicol, to offer one lucky reader the chance to win the beautifully understated Classic Holly 2.0 Bag in Latte, worth £375.
In our launch episode, Hood Founder, Publisher and Editor Emma Kate Miller shares the story behind the podcast — why now felt like the natural next step for the Hood brand, and how it all began back in 2018 when she saw a gap for a title that truly spoke to contemporary Scottish women.
Designed in the Scottish Highlands by Cathleen Nicol, C Nicol has quietly built a reputation for timeless, investment pieces — the kind that are designed to be carried for years, not seasons. Inspired by the beauty of the understated, the brand’s aesthetic sits effortlessly between contemporary design and Highland heritage.
Each bag is crafted in small batches using high-grade leather sourced from tanneries with sustainable practices, alongside luxury textiles woven in Scotland. Clean lines, considered detailing and subtle branding define every piece, and with limited runs, some styles develop waiting lists — a testament to their enduring appeal. It’s no surprise the brand has been featured in titles including The Telegraph, The Times, Grazia, Stylist and Who What Wear.
The Holly 2.0 in Latte is one of those forever pieces — effortlessly versatile, beautifully made and designed to move with you from day to evening with ease.
C Nicol is one of eight founding sponsors supporting the launch of the Hood podcast, alongside Traprain Financial, Sobr Bar, Laura Bond, Endo 1000, Restoration Yard, The Stockbridge Clinic and Boadicea the Victorious.
