Radley Without a Paddle Grab Bag | Fun Applique Purse with Boating Scottie Dog Design

Posted on: Apr 28

Radley's quirky sense of humor is on show with this fun Without a Paddle grab bag.

The front of the bag features the Radley Scottie Dog punting down the river with his owner. It’s the little details which really make this hand-crafted leather appliqué design, from the pup’s boater and blue punting jacket to the Terrier Training book the owner reads.

It's a beautiful design, but I know it's not likely to suit everybody. It's a world away from those chic It bags we're so used to seeing, and some snooty fashionistas might even suggest it's a little juvenile. But the pastel colors and whimsical scene are ideal for warmer weather, and those days when you don't want to take yourself too seriously.

The irreverent design is also just a front for a really practical purse. A coin purse, featuring the same boating Scottie, is attached with a leather strap. There are also two slip and two zip pockets inside. As if that didn't give us enough storage options, the back also features a slip pouch.

The straps are ideal for hand-held carrying or draping over your arm, but they’re a little short for anything else. If you prefer over-the-shoulder carrying, the same print is also available on a long-handled tote.
