The Radley Bag, the Scottie in the Bag Store Now Open in Thailand
Radley, a British company of handbags and accessories best known for the silhouette of a Scottish terrier, has opened a store in Bangkok.
Popular British company Radley, immediately recognisable by its oh-so-cute Scottish terrier, added panache to its line of leather bags by merging urban street fashion with high artistry. This shop was Radley’s first store to open in Thailand, and it spread around the end of the previous year.
Lowell Harder, an Australian businesswoman, began her company with a garment stand in London’s Camden Market in 1998, and she launched her brand the following year. Her brand boasted one-of-a-kind and elegant leather bags in vibrant colours representing Londoners’ lives.
Within a short period, Radley established a stellar reputation because of its innovative designs, high-grade fabrics, and meticulous stitching. The company has branches in Germany, Switzerland, Australia, Japan, Taiwan, and Malaysia.
Minor Corporation, a prominent distributor of fashion brands such as Brooks Brothers, Banana Republic, Gap, Anello, and Etam, runs the business in Bangkok.
“We have faith in Radley’s ability to succeed. The fact that its designs represent London culture contributes to the brand’s popularity among local consumers. According to Nisarat Jaratsunthornphak, the senior brand manager of Minor Corporation, the company has created numerous styles to make the bag more practical, stylish, and durable throughout the years.
“Radley is well-known for its in-house design production, and the company’s design staff draws inspiration from the products found in the area’s many marketplaces. Seasoned artisans in India make the bags, and their overall appearance is meant to be understated yet elegant.
The recently established store is located on the second level of the Gaysorn shopping mall. It is getting ready for the summer season in Bangkok by stocking up on the most recent collections of brightly coloured bags made of high-quality fabric and real leather.
All the bags include a grosgrain lining and are equipped with a zippered compartment and several slip pockets in various sizes. These pockets are great for storing things like a mobile phone, pens, and a pocketbook.
The fashionable leather series includes the Berwick Street cross-body bags, constructed from black and oyster leather panels to create an eye-catching striped effect. On the other hand, the Liverpool Street bags come in a modern classic look and are bordered by two full-length slip pockets. They come in various colours: black, candy pink, burgundy, and street blue.
The Radley zip-top shoulder bag with a detachable strap is designed to imitate that adorable little Scottie and can double as a clutch, which means it can look just as well with jeans as it does with a skirt. This bag is lively and amusing.
“Our tote bags are not only practical but also very light. Customers can convert their shoulder bags into handbags or clutches by removing the standard leather straps with most shoulder bags. We make use of leather in a variety of textures, and we maintain a silhouette that is timeless and appropriate for any event. According to Nisar, “as part of our after-sales service, we are also able to erase minor scratches from the surface of a bag.”
Other extremely popular products with customers are the Tetbury leather purses, which feature five slip pockets, 14 card slots, a zipped coin compartment, and two slip pockets. Additionally, the tote bags and backpacks by Pocket Essentials come in various vibrant colours and are made of particle-coated nylon, making them waterproof.
In addition, Radley has released a collection called Rule the Roost to celebrate the Chinese New Year. This collection comprises red leather goods like name card purses, cosmetic bags, wallets, and coin bags.
In addition, Radley has retail locations and counters in the Mega Bangna, Central East Ville, Siam Paragon, and The Emporium shopping malls in Bangkok.
