Christmas comes early to Harvey Nichols, Edinburgh

Shoppers can enjoy 15 per cent off Beauty purchases and up to 20 per cent off a selected edit of contemporary and casual fashion* to kickstart the party season in style.
“Our four-day Festive Shopping Party heralds the start of Christmas,” says store General Manager, Louise Masson. “Last year, many people weren’t able to celebrate the festive season in the way they would have liked to, so we’re getting the party started a little earlier for 2021.
“As Christmas and Hogmanay return with a bang to Edinburgh, the mood is definitely celebratory, and we are delighted to offer customers our signature warm welcome along with a fun and immersive shopping experience this weekend.”
