Topic: Radley bags

[Jeannine]

Ok, I did it..

I hacked a post the other day of Betulas which was not very nice and it drew response away from the correct topic..so here we are with a Radley thread.

I own up, I am hooked although here they are not known so it is not quite the same.

Come on fess up..watcha got?

I will tell if you will .

I did not mind,it was fun  ;D

Like you I love my pink bag with the ripped chair and I use that a lot.

Will tell you more later....sadly don't buy them often these days but I get the odd pressie,lucky me.

I also like Harrods bags and lots of other things with a westie on.

I didn't know what this was about for a moment - I thought a radley bag was an unusual method of conserving produce or something!  ;D ;D

I can see why you might like them, but bags don't do it for me really. I'm not a handbag sort of person. Don't know why.

Are Radley bags special then?

[Jeannine]

Ok snap, we have a pair on that one.

I looked on e bay the other day and was upset, there was'n't as many as I expected, well not the signature bags anyway, and most won't post over here, The Radley shop doesn't either.

PS, just added after reading pigeonseeds post.

My Radley bag came from Turkey and my sister only paid a couple of quid for it. She bought it along with a Rolex watch and things!!!!!!. Unfortunately the zip on the bag broke after a couple of weeks and the watch only lasted a bit longer. Wos we done??????
 

[betula]

Yes they are special......very special ;D

I have the Christmas reindeer bag from a few years back.

Bike Ride

Eskimo/igloo bag

Poppy bag

Black....brown beige non signature bags

doing this one handed as eating,others i have got to think about plus purses.

[Jeannine]

I have never considered myself a snob but I have to admit there is something good when someone goes ahh,,ooh,,when they see one. Not here though.It is good to swap info  with others about their favourites too.

 In the beginning I had about 5, they were Christmas pressies from an adopted relative, a sort of old uncle that had no close family, too much money and a secretary with good taste who I think did his shopping for him.

When I was real little I got dolls, then jewellry in my teens and younger days, then as I got older it became perfume or jewellry and then the bags.

I took one into work one day and got the aah factor, I didn't know till that day how special they were. So I took the others in one by one..it made me laugh.

We lost our old uncle just  the year before we left to come home so my John bought me the last one..the ripped chair one not long before we left. Meanwhile I had got interested and bought a few on e bay. So the collection grew quite quickly.

I got a laptop bag and matching handbag which I travelled with so the last aah was then.

So maybe I am a snob..oh no...that is terrible, no I would still like them if they were as cheap as chips.

I do have a couple that I don't like though.

Queenbee, I guess you got what you paid for, but enjoy it anyway, I would.

[betula]

Yes I agree,lots of nice comments about them always and if I can I compliment other people on their bags too.

Not a snob thing because if you think about it they come a lot cheaper than other so called designer bags but I think they have a charm about them.........very feminine.

[Jeannine]

I have a pink Radley purse with the little scotty dog on the front would love a bag but just cant justify the cost at the moment not helped by the new Radley shop in town which also sells radley shoes :)

[bridgehouse]

I love these bags, though I have only one, its a little black number with pale green leather leaves on , and and the little dog tag. it comes with its own scuff bag . and that is most useful when I go on holiday .
My daughter is addicted to them, she has nine now. I call that over the top.Haha.

OH gave me a Radley bag for my birthday 4 years ago and I have never had it out of its own special bag.  Its too wee for all the rubbish I carry around with me.  I do have a large purse and I do need my bottled water which doesn't fit  in the Radley and also the colour doesn't match the clothes I wear.   Its a pinky beige. 

 ;D

[djbrenton]

There's a Radley outlet shop near us so it's an easy way out when it comes to Christmas or the wife's birthday. So far I've bought her 6 plus a briefcase. She's very particular about the size so it's quite hard to find one that catches the eye and is in the right size.

You can marry me if you like LOL  ;D

[djbrenton]

You can marry me if you like LOL  ;D

I doubt I could afford you, otherwise, I'm sure it would be my privilege.

[betula]

 ;D

[Jeannine]

Wow, what a guy, he even knows about the sizes too.... what man would know that. I don't like the little ones and I only like the true handbags,(grab bags) I can't carry one on my shoulder anymore so that cuts down the choices.

Cam, don't you worry, you have a baby that is heaps better than a Radley bag.

Still debating that red one.. 40odd% off I think.

I found an online shop in Califonia on e bay USA but I think they are knock offs, hardly a bid on them.
