Gladstone London's bespoke bags

It's the combination of form and function that creates uniquely personal kit, says John O'Sullivan, founder of the leather-accessories brand

If you look to the past – to the glamorous days when couture began in Paris and the "London Made" era of the 1920s and 30s – there was much more collaboration between design houses and customers. That's been retained in today's bespoke process. People will always want something unique, something made for their precise needs.

Gladstone London makes beautiful and timeless ready-to-wear leather products; however, customers sometimes want to go a step beyond that. For our tailor-made bag service, they can choose either an existing silhouette and customise the pattern, size, colour and internal configuration, or opt for a fully bespoke piece.
