CARING FOR YOUR LEATHER

Our bags only get better with age

Just invested in a new Radley? Get ready to live happily ever after together, because our leather handbags have been made to last a lifetime. All they need is a little TLC.

Similar to how we all need a little care and attention, our leather accessories do too. And with the right aftercare, you can ensure they maintain their exceptional quality, even as you use them every day. After all, our leather bags are designed to only get better with age.

From a bestselling cross body bag crafted in the finest grained leather, to a pocket-sized purse with the smoothest hand feel. We always use the finest leathers, which you can look after using our aftercare tips.

A HOME FOR YOUR HANDBAG

You can continue to maintain the quality of your leather handbag even when you aren’t using it, by storing it in the right way. Here are a few things to remember when packing away your bags.

Keep them in a well-ventilated area

Leather is a natural material that needs to breathe. It can also be affected by moisture, which can cause mould or mildew, and light, that can fade the beautiful colour of your bag. To prevent this, avoid putting them in an airtight container and make sure to keep them out of the sun.

Make use of the fabric dust bag

Most of our leather products come with a fabric dust bag – the perfect solution to storing your leather bag safely. The fabric allows the leather to breathe, while also shielding it from light. We’d also pop in the silica gel packet that comes with your bag to manage the moisture levels.

Pack it – but not too much

Leather’s suppleness means it can flatten over time. The best way to preserve the carefully crafted shape of your bag is to pad it when not in use. The tissue paper that comes in your new Radley London bag is perfect – we’d recommend keeping hold of it when your order arrives.

You should also avoid overfilling your handbag when you have a busy day. Squeezing extra items inside will stretch the leather and ruin the bag’s original shape.

LEATHER IS IN OUR DNA

From our London-based Design Team to our expert craftspeople, we all share a passion for the most beautiful materials. It’s why we always use the finest leathers.

When designing a new bag, our Designers consider everything. Whether it’s the texture of the grain or how many pockets make the perfect number.

“We always think about how the handbag will be used. For us, it’s so important to have leather that only gets more beautiful over time.” – Lucy, Design Manager

Then it’s over to our talented makers, where as many as 20 skilled craftspeople bring each bag to life. Pattern cutters, seamstresses, screen printers and more. These are the same partners we’ve worked with for decades.

“It’s all about attention to detail and years of experience that’s been handed down from one artisan to the next.” – Martyn, Head of Product Development

GOLD-STANDARD LEATHER

We never stop striving for a new standard of quality. That’s why our leather is always sourced responsibly from tanneries accredited by the Leather Working Group, the organisation responsible for the world’s leading environmental certification for the leather manufacturing industry.

And that’s not all. Our leather is a by-product of the food industry, and we never use endangered or exotic skins. We also do what we can to use our leather responsibly, by cutting panels with care to minimise waste.

As we always use real, natural leather, there may sometimes be variations in the texture, tone or grain of the same styles. These are unique characteristics that we love to celebrate.
