Radley is the creator of classic, functional and fashionable handbags such as the Radley Grosvenor, the Aldgate and the Chiltern. However, it’s Radley’s pocket bags that are their number one best-sellers. A compact and cute cross-body bag available in small, medium or large, we can see why these Radley bags are still flying off the shelves. The Radley pocket bags are currently available in nine colours: the three standard leather colours; tan, bitter chocolate and black, and the bright SS13 colours of pearl, grenadine, carrot, kelly green, tempest and blue.
How big are they?
The small Radley pocket bag is W20 x H21 x D2 cm, so ideal for those travelling light. The adjustable shoulder strap widens at the shoulder for a comfortable fit so whether you opt for the small, medium or large, you can rest assured you can carry the bag all day without it becoming uncomfortable. The medium Radley pocket bag is W22 x H27 x D2 cm, so slightly bigger than the small version and would comfortably fit a small notepad and other daily essentials. The large size has dimensions of W29 x H27 x D2 cm and is the most practical for a work bag. The slim shape of the bags mean they can be packed easily when travelling and are the ideal handbag for holidays as they are light-weight and can be worn across the body and over or under outer-wear so you can keep your belongings safe. But, if you prefer a bigger work/day bag, check out our review of the Radley Selby tote - it’s fab!
What are they made of?
The pocket bags are made from the finest leather which ensure they will stand the test of time. The cross-body bag’s main feature is it’s front pocket (hence the name.) Radley have said their inspiration for the first pocket bag came from the pockets in a pair of jeans. Looking closely at a pair of jeans and the Radley pocket bag, you can see the shape of the pocket on the bag echo the shape of front pockets on a pair of jeans. The pocket is ideal for travel documents and a passport when travelling or a diary, keys, oyster card or simply anything you want easy access to! There is a zip pocket on the reverse and a zip pocket inside so you can keep your treasures well organised.
What colours are available?
The Radley pocket bags are currently available in nine colours: the three standard leather colours; tan, bitter chocolate and black, and the bright SS13 colours of pearl, grenadine, carrot, kelly green, tempest and blue. This is the first season that Radley have introduced bold colours to their range, and we think they are fab! The green, carrot and blue are great additions to a summer wardrobe and we believe they will be a huge hit!
