Radley LondonDukes Place Medium Compartment Crossbody

Tired of Being Misled

I'd give this bag a minus rating if I could based on FALSE ADVERTISING by the company. I'm so tired of this game leather goods manufacturers play. In a description of one of their bags it was stated that the lining and/or the carry-strop might be made of leather composit, but assured the reader that the rest of it was 100% leather. That's not a lie, apparently, as bonded leather can be referred to as '100% leather'. The key word that was missing is GENUINE leather, which is the only word that legally separates the fake from the real deal. This is also true in leather furniture. The word ANILINE LEATHER is another indication that the product for sale is 100% real from top to bottom, not a 1cm thin cut of the top grain of the hide that's glued to a composit material that is heat-bonded to look like the real thing. Customers who value the look and feel of genuine leather - in clothing, accessories, or furniture (despite a higher price tag) become angry when a trusted brand, such as Radley, starts playing games with their carefully crafted descriptions that are misleading by omission. Bad show, Rradley. Bad show.
