Transeasonal Style: Our Hero Handbags in Neutral Shades
12 August 2022
There’s never been a better time to refresh your trusted LBB (little black bag). And right now, it’s all about introducing neutrals into your wardrobe ahead of autumn. Wear-me-everywhere shades of cream, grey, brown and black that will always be in fashion. You’ll find them across some of our hero handbag styles from The August Edit. These are the Radley London signature designs we know every woman needs.
LIVERPOOL STREET 2.0
Starting with one of our most iconic collections. You already know all about the curved shapes and signature features of our Liverpool Street 2.0 bags, so you’ll recognise these bestsellers in their new shades.
Thanks to the triple-compartment interior and versatile design, our multiway bag is the go-to for keeping your organised all day long – from your commute all the way through to after work drinks. What a hero.
Our August palette is full of creamy Chalk and grounding browns – colours to invest in as you’ll be carrying them all-year round. These timeless shades can be used as a base for all outfits in your wardrobe. See them showcased across our Liverpool Street 2.0 styles in both hardwearing smooth leather and glossy mock croc (which will look even more amazing when it’s reflecting that low autumn sunshine).
POCKETS 2.0
Proving that your most versatile bag doesn’t have to be Black. And that even animal prints can be neutral. Our Design Team have reimagined the signature Pockets 2.0 cross body in Dark Oak and mock croc textured leather. Why is it a hero style? Well, the cross body bag is what every wardrobe needs. Trust us. This completely practical shape is one you’ll reach for day after day.
An update on an original Radley London style, it’s the same slim, zip-top shape with more modern details. So, you can be sure there’s still enough room for your phone and purse, and even a camera if you love capturing moments from your day.
HILLGATE PLACE
One of the newer heroes on the scene. Get acquainted with Hillgate Place, as this family is here to stay. We’re already obsessed with the exaggerated shapes in flexible grained leather – the kind that only gets better with age and folds to fit all of those daily ‘essentials’ (yes, even the unnecessary ones). With the same triple compartment interior as Liverpool Street 2.0, these slouchier bags are ideal when you want something a little more casual.
Did you spot the contrast handles? Whether you like them in smooth leather or with a pop of faux snakeskin texture, our Designers know how to sneak in those extra details. But thanks to the neutral shades of Ginger Biscuit, Black and Clay, these bags are still versatile enough to complement any outfit – from soft summer tailoring to your layered autumn looks.
SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT
If you like something a little different, we’ve got the neutrals for you too. Introducing another special edition of the Liverpool Street 2.0 multiway, crafted with inlaid leather patchwork panels in subtle shades. Our Hay’s Mews bag is returning too, in the same super-soft leather and a new neutral colour-block design.
