In the bottom of every handbag my grandmother ever owned you’d find a wad of tissues, melted cough lozenges and a half stick of gum. Why just a half? Because she believed a whole piece was too much to chew in one sitting and looked akin to a cow chewing cud. She wasn’t entirely wrong but that has never stopped me from going with the whole stick. Upon reading this memory, I bet many of you can tell me what you’d find in your grandmother or mom’s handbag. Its like listing trinkets worn on a woman’s charm bracelet. You just know what’s there. In the same way, you know the quality when you see it. I saw it the moment my @RadleyLondon handbag arrived. I came across this brand recently, and with outstanding prices and gorgeous designs I decided I’d like to see if the quality matched the aesthetic. Needless to say, they did not disappoint. I spent some time learning about their process bringing these bags to life and it’s made me love them all the more. They been working with many of the same artisans for over 20 years to ensure their standard of quality is maintained.
