Radley has struck a deal with Carloway Mill, which will see the Harris Tweed mill producing handmade cloth for a premium version of its popular Grosvenor handbag.
“We were putting together our latest themes and had a very strong inspiration from the 1920s’ Bloomsbury group which is all about arts and crafts and the painting and literary set. There was a wealth of information about tweeds and we thought why not try to get proper Harris Tweed. We talked to our designers, Dashing Tweeds, who came up with an exclusive design and that is when we contacted the mill here at Carloway,” explained Radley design director Natalie Bolton.
Ms Bolton assures us the tweed Grosvenor bags will be available in all the vibrant colors we’ve come to expect from Radley, and trimmed in top-grade leather. While Radley bags are generally sold in a range of retailers this premium handbag collection, and its matching holdalls, will be available exclusively through Radley stores, including the Radley website.
