For the mature lady although I'm mature and don't like it.

LadyBird1973 · 06/09/2023 13:01

I like it. I went off Radley for a bit but I've recently rediscovered them - I think they are well made for the price and there are lots of different designs.

Overpriced tat. Looks like something I could pick up in Asda for £12.

JaneJeffer · 06/09/2023 13:40

Horrible

AgingDisgracefullyHere · 06/09/2023 17:58

I thinking it's lovely. It's a useful size without being too big and I think the silhouette is very pretty. It will be of good construction and leather.

I am spoiled by Vinted, though, and won't pay full price for a bag.

Blossomandbee · 06/09/2023 18:16

Classic, borderline dated

CinnamonJellyBeans · 06/09/2023 19:18

The leather looks tough, like rawhide. I prefer supple leather.

Boring
Safe
Predictable

I really like it!

TedMullins · 06/09/2023 20:57

Dated and boring. If you want a bag like that just go to TK Maxx, they often have Radley in there and much cheaper than this

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 06/09/2023 21:45

Classic, it's really nice.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 06/09/2023 21:47

It will be well made and last ages, they're good bags.

Gowlett · 06/09/2023 21:50

If I saw a nice Radley in TK Maxx, I’d consider it.

TragicMuse · 06/09/2023 21:53

It's not doing it for me! I think you can get much nicer bags for equivalent or less...

greyhairnomore · 06/09/2023 22:06

I got a new one on eBay for £55.

I've spent hours in different TKMaxxes and couldn't find anything I like;(

It’s this season: The Row, Prada, Isabel Marant etc have bought out this shape. It’s the ‘old money’/‘quiet lux’ aesthetic, but imo you can find better for the price.

Personally I prefer this, for example:

Thank you
I don't like the way it is unstructured on the top and can't wear cross body...also I didn't like the fabric on the inside but the colour is quite nice - I will have a look at that website

Oops we can wear it crossbody actually but the grab handle looks too think comparing to the straps -

Ok, but dull.
I wouldn't buy it because I don't like the logo being so obvious.

The OP has another thread. I'm not keen on the logo. Radley are usually more discreet but as I said on her other thread I'd take this bag any day over any logo blazened Louis Vuitton bag,

Ireolu · 06/09/2023 23:08

I recently discovered honey and toast on s&b. I bought a little card wallet. the quality is good and I think they had similar more interesting on trend cross body bags. Maybe check it out OP.

One would think that mumsnetters only go to TK Maxx in order to see which brands are crap.
