Radley Laura Bailey Capsule Collection
Radley Collector have decided to take a closer look at the Radley Laura Bailey Capsule collection. The Radley page is here, and Radley have produced a very stylized video for the range that you can watch here.
After serving as a model for Radley for the past two seasons , Radley recruited Laura Bailey to design a capsule collection.
The collection was launched in October 2012 and consists of only 5 bag styles, in a variety of colours. The styles are distinctly Radley, but have an individual difference from normal Radley styles to define the range.
The metalwork on the collection is thicker than most Radley bags, with heavier zips, and chunkier clasps.
The name Radley only appears on the inside of the bags, and is not embossed on the outside, and there is no Radley dogtag. If you like to advertise the fact you’re carrying a Radley, you’ll have to show people the “Laura Bailey for Radley” tag on the inside of your bag.
The range is available in Navy, Khaki, Tan, and Black, though some lines have sold out of Certain colours at this stage
Lets take a look at the bags themselves.

Radley Collector says:
The Laura Bailey Collection for Radley is a distinctive change from the normal Radley bags. As mentioned above if you like to show off to the world that your bag is a Radley bag these do keep that quite hidden. However the quality and styles of this higher range designer bag does fit into the higher luxury but affordable range that Radley try to achieve. We look forward to seeing if Laura Bailey brings out more designs with Radley.
Some reviewers such as the fashion Pages at the telegraph.co.uk say the following:
“Ever since Radley kicked its naff doggy logo to the curb, its bags have improved drastically”
Radley Collector does not hold the same opinion as this to be honest, here at Radley Collector we love the classic Radley doggie tag and Radley appearing on designs such as the picture bag.
Keep Laura Bailey but bring the doggy to her bags is what we say !
