Opulent Autumn. Discover the September Edit
13 May 2024
This is what we mean by not so quiet luxury. Opulent tones of Dark Cherry and Dragon green. Silhouettes that embody timeless classics. And of course, some of the finest leathers in the textures of the season. Experience our latest collection at Radley London through the eyes of our Design Studio.
Here’s what they had to say about the colour palette.
“At this time of year, we’re all starting to gravitate indoors a bit more. We were inspired by luxe interior furnishings, both the colours and the textures.”
Autumn is starting to arrive, and with it the colours to know this season. Bestselling Hillgate Place is back in Dragon green, with croc-texture accents beautifully contrasting against our supple grained leather.
On the smaller side but no less tempting, we have Hanley Close in Dark Cherry. The look is completed by that shimmering gold-tone push lock.
It wouldn’t be a Radley London collection without some incredible details. Liz, one of our Designers, told us all about Grosvenor Remastered Weave.
“We’ve worked with the same artisan partners for generations now, and this is the kind of design that we can create through our shared knowledge. It’s hugely intricate and I’m so proud that people are going to see the final design. It takes eight hours to craft this front panel, with 75 strands of leather in that weave.”
Liz also worked on a very special edition of an icon, Liverpool Street 2.0 Opulent.
“I want everyone to feel like a character in The Great Gatsby when they carry this bag. We called this version ‘Opulent’ because of the incredible amount of detail that’s gone into it. There are over 260 studs on the multiway bag and 340 punch holes. It’s a celebration of incredible skill.”
And that’s not the only twist on a classic black bag this month. Hanley Close in glossy croc-effect leather (as well as our Dark Cherry smooth leather version) is that handbag you’ll reach for for years to come.
This is just the beginning, there’s even more to see in New Arrivals.
We’re celebrating our 25th birthday this month so make sure you keep an eye on Radley Stories. Find out about our special edition collections, and look back at what we’ve been up to since 1998.
