About Us
''Unique physical products rooted in local history and culture''
Our Spirit
We believe a souvenir should reflect the true spirit of the location it represents. Through original designs and local collaborations, we create modern antiquities inspired by history and culture.
A Mission Born in Edinburgh
The seeds of Rare Souvenirs were sown amidst the cobblestones of Edinburgh. We noticed the city’s streets came with extraordinary tales about kings and poets, however local shops often told a different story, one of mass production and fleeting trends.
This experience inspired our mission: offering unique physical products rooted in local history and culture. We set out to create souvenirs that are truly rare and embody the rich history and culture they represent
Long-term Vision
Our goal is to become the premier provider of heritage souvenirs. In order to do so we're building a network where history, design, and local craftsmanship converge to create modern antiquities for travelers and history lovers alike.
We even dare to dream of expanding beyond the shores of Great Britain. However, for now we're very much content catering to the rich history and culture of Scotland, England and Wales.

Meaning & Purpose
After graduating as a Communication & Multimedia Designer, a decade-long journey through Europe eventually led me to my home in the rolling hills and mountains of Scotland. This nomadic path fostered a deep fascination into local lores, histories and cultures. Today, I use my skills and passions to ensure every product we release is a tangible memory of the place it represents.
