A few years ago, when I was travelling back and forth to the UK on a regular basis, I discovered Radley bags.
Radley manufactures a line of fine leather goods, and its symbol is the Scottish Terrier, which regular readers know is the dog breed I own. Over the years, I have purchased a number of bags, wallets and accessories through the one distributor I could find that will actually ship to the US, Leathershop UK. From whom I have always received impeccable service.
A month or so ago, the company asked me to participate in a market survey. Clearly, they are thinking of coming to the US, to which I say YES! The quality of their bags matches any of the mid-price US manufacturers (Coach, Kate Spade) and I was happy to participate.
They offered a gift, which I immediately forgot about. Imagine my surprise when it arrived today and far from being a cheap trinket, it was a keychain from the regular line, retail value fifteen British pounds.
Well done, Radley. I will continue to purchase your products through Leathershop, and I hope you come to the US soon.
