Our Story
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 something beautiful, admired for its understated elegance and colour, whilst being functional and stylish. So I decided to swap the boardroom for my kitchen table to work on my passion and create luxury accessory brand Gladstn London.
We design and make beautiful handcrafted bags for our customers everyday journeys. My pursuit of style and quality came from my late mother, who was a stylish and determined lady, and remains a continual inspiration. We are proud to be a multi-award winning luxury brand, including being voted Luxury Luggage Brand of the Year 2024 by Corporate LiveWire.
“Gladstn London fans fly slightly under-the-radar in their Gladstn fandom, choosing sophisticated style and quality over flash and sass” Fran Endicott Miller Just Luxe
History of Gladstn London – what’s in a name
Our brand takes inspiration from both the iconic Gladstone bag as well as Britian’s rich heritage of leather craftsmanship. It’s also a reflection of our spirit of adventure, independence, and diversity, as well as a love for the dynamic, cosmopolitan, and well-visited city we call home.
Our Principles
Your everyday journeys
The everyday journeys we take are the essence of our lives. Every bag we create starts with understanding these journeys and the things it will need to hold.
