HIGH-end luggage firm LAT56, which was established in Glasgow nearly seven years ago, has switched its headquarters to Dundee.
Headed by Strathclyde University design engineering graduate Kevin Fox, the business has moved to District 10, a space for creative businesses constructed from 37 recycled shipping containers on the site of a former railway goods yard.
Mr Fox said: "District 10 will become the new heart of Dundee's growing creative sector and as a brand with a strong international outlook, with a constant need to be cutting edge, I believe we are going to thrive in this fantastic location."
The company, which employs three people in Dundee and another three in Glasgow, has also signed a deal to become the official supplier of bags to Dubai airline Emirates.
LAT56 sells its goods through luxury retailer, Selfridges and online to customers across North America and Europe.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
