Radley London Women's Bags
The British brand Radley is best known for its quality leather bags with the signature dog logo. In addition to high-quality handbags made of genuine leather, they produce belts, wallets, umbrellas and other accessories.
About the brand
The history of the brand began in 1984, in the capital of Great Britain. The founder of the Radley brand was a young girl, Lovel Harder. The girl was interested in hippie culture, so she began to trade in original ethnic goods.
She liked bright leather bags with unusual Indian prints, so she was determined to get into their production. She quickly found suppliers in India, and having resolved the issues with the material, she began to work on creating bags that she herself would like. Even Lovel's first creative attempts became successful and attracted the attention of fashion industry workers.
But the individual style of Miss Harder did not fit into the concept of the company a little. Therefore, the first bags, which were distinguished by their colorfulness and the use of bright colors, were coolly received by both her colleagues and the target audience. They were called too defiant and catchy, and the designer was asked to further make his creations less bright. The lesson was learned and the bags from the new Lovel collection became closer to the classics, although the brand's founder's love for bright colors is still traced in every new bag from Radley.
The name of the Radley London trademark became official only 11 years after the start of cooperation. In 2002, the Harder and TULA brands merged. Since then, the company has been working together to produce quality accessories in an elegant British style.
Now branded accessories from Radley London can only be found in Britain. They have only one brand store, which is located in Liverpool. In the rest of the world, things from Radley are sold in outlets. They can also be ordered through the online store.
Accessory features
Handbags from Radley are made from finely crafted genuine leather. Despite the fact that the brand is classic, the colors of the bags are very bold and bright.
Another trademark of Radley London brand accessories is the logo in the form of a jumping dog of the Scotch Terrier breed (Scottish Terrier). The signature image first appeared on accessories in the early 1990s, and has been an integral part of Radley's handbags, umbrellas, and wallets ever since.
Overview of the latest collection
Designers of the Radley brand improve their products with each collection. Their bags are still distinguished by the smoothness of the lines and the quality of the leather used.
In the latest collection, designers have relied on the classics, creating their bags in muted and pastel colors. Almost every model is complemented by a neat seam to match the bag.
Attention deserves an elegant handbag in a muted coral color. With its compact size, it resembles a clutch bag with a short handle. There is a rough seam along the edge of the bag. The accessory is complemented by a decorative dog in a muted pink color.
The founder reflected her original style, from which the Radley London brand began, in a large black bag decorated with bright flowers.The patterns contrast in color with the base of the bag, which looks very impressive. The bag is suitable for daily use due to its spaciousness and short comfortable handles.
The combination of Indian motifs and British classics can be seen in other products from the latest collection from Radley London. A patchwork-style bag created from pieces of printed leather interspersed with beige inserts looks stylish. Sufficiently wide shoulder strap and comfortable short handles make the bag suitable for daily wear.
