Radley Bags-what's all the fuss about ?
Radley bags have only been around since 1998 but in the space of ten years Radley bags have become the biggest selling UK handbag brand. Considering that Radley are in the same marketplace as such fashion giants such as Chanel, Gucci etc then their success really deserves a bit more attention......
A young Australian lady by the name of Lowell Harder came to England to pursue a career in architecture but found her work uninspiring. She was introduced to leather and found she had a talent for designing leather bags. By using manufacturers in India and selling her bags on Camden Market, Ms Harder started to gradually build her business up.
Before too long a larger conglomerate came knocking at her door and invited her to design for them using her own brand and the Radley brand was born.
Ms. Harder had a love of dogs which led her to incorporate a dog design on a small number of her bags. These particular bags outsold the rest and she was encouraged to put the scottie dog on all of her products. The scottie dog now appears on all Radley bags and accessories.
Radley launch a new collection twice a year with the main focus of attention being on the famous Radley picture bag,also known as the Radley signature bag.
The Radley picture bag is launched in Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter each year and features the famous Radley Scottie dog in a variety of seasonal scenes.
Radley bags are made from the finest leather and created with the finest colours to create a truly unique and original look.
More recently, Radley have extended their range to include Radley umbrellas, Radley luggage, Radley purses and other accessories.
