We take inspiration from where your travels take you, what you choose to carry and your unique sense of style to create beautiful bags that are designed to be used, admired and shared, with space to carry everything important and detailed craftsmanship that stands the test of time. As with a trusted friend, our bags are there for all your journeys, with an edited elegance that works with your style.
Hello. I'm Richard, Chief Bag Carrier Two decades of global travel means I’ve had to carry my life in many different bags! Yet, I was never quite satisfied with the bags I had. I wanted to find something beautiful, admired for its understated elegance and colour, whilst being functional and stylish, not just for business trips or holidays but to be shared for all journeys. So I decided to swap the boardrooms for my kitchen table, immersing myself in the creative process to develop a collection of bags perfect for the journeys we take. This inspiration and the pursuit of perfect bags led me to follow my dream. It's so rewarding personally when I see our bags being shared on their journeys, becoming trusted friends, just as my bags are to me. Being asked, "where did you get that beautiful bag?" will for me always be a real compliment in life.
Our brand and the pursuit of perfect bags takes inspiration from the iconic Gladstone Bag and London's rich heritage of leather craftsmanship. Have bag will travel, the Gladstone Bag permitted people for the first time to carry their belongings in a bag and was the catalyst for a boom in 'London Made' leather craftsmanship. Gladstn London is a modern interpretation of this history that we are proud to reflect in our brand. It's also a reflection of our spirit of exploration, independence and diversity, as well as a love for the dynamic, cosmopolitan, and well-visited city we call home.
A simple idea we had. Create an exchange that allows you to buy, sell or have re-conditioned historic pieces of luggage that might be sitting at the back of the wardrobe, in the attic or you would just like to own a piece of history. Our exchange allows you to buy, sell or have us tidy up a piece of luggage that may be very special to you and others.
When you carry a Gladstn London bag, don’t be surprised if you turn heads. Every bag we create starts by understanding the journeys it’ll go on and all the things it will hold as you travel. Just like a trusted friend, it will consistently be by your side. A community that loves to see the journeys we take our bags on – share using #mygladbag @Gladstonian
