Gladstn London draws inspiration from the classic 19th-century Gladstone bag, reimagining it for the contemporary traveller. The brand seamlessly blends British heritage with modern aesthetics, offering a curated collection of bags that cater to both functionality and style. Each piece is meticulously designed in London and handcrafted in Italy, utilizing the finest Venetian calfskin and premium hardware sourced from Florence.
Richard Sharman, Owner and CEO of Gladstn London, expressed his gratitude: “Receiving the Opuluxe Award is a testament to our team’s dedication to excellence and our loyal clientele’s discerning taste. We are honoured to be recognized among the industry’s elite and remain committed to delivering products that exemplify understated luxury.”
A Legacy of Craftsmanship and Innovation
Since its inception, Gladstn London has been synonymous with uncompromising craftsmanship and innovative design. The brand collaborates with intimate workshops in Northern Italy, where skilled artisans bring each creation to life. This partnership ensures that every bag not only meets but exceeds the highest standards of quality and durability.
The product range includes versatile pieces such as the “Renegade” day bag known for its spacious interior and sleek silhouette, and the “Mad Dash” trolley, designed for the modern traveller seeking both elegance and practicality. In 2023, the brand expanded its presence to the United States, introducing American consumers to its collection of discreet, Italian-crafted bags. This strategic move has been met with enthusiasm, reflecting the global appeal of Gladstn London’s designs.
Limited Edition and Bespoke Offerings
Emphasizing exclusivity, Gladstn London offers limited edition designs inspired by significant influences. Notably, “The Stanley” bag pays homage to Angela Stanley, Richard Sharman’s mother, whose impeccable style greatly influenced the brand’s aesthetic. This bag exemplifies the brand’s dedication to creating pieces that are both personal and timeless.
For clients seeking a personalized touch, Gladstn London provides bespoke services, allowing customers to customize their bags with a selection of premium materials, colours, and finishes. This bespoke approach ensures each piece resonates with the individual’s unique style and preferences.
