Our Story
Two decades of global travel taught me a simple truth — the world keeps changing, but our love of travel and pursuit of elegance remains timeless. Inspired by the spirit of the original Gladstone bag — a symbol of Britishness created for a life of purpose, refinement, and exploration — I founded Gladstn London, a classically British brand with a colorful, contemporary spirit, born in London for a world without limits.
Now celebrated as a multi-award-winning luxury brand — including Leading Luxury Goods Business of the Year and a British Business Excellence Award — We carry forward a proud British tradition — a heritage of balancing contrasts with quiet confidence. From handcrafted bags to a celebration of modern British elegance shaped by curiosity, intuitive style, and exquisite design. Every creation is designed to be an enduring companion — a trusted friend you pause to admire.
