I found Brad by accident at the Rosebank Sunday Market, I first bought the red sling bag and card holder, and then I requested to have my own initials on more sling bags and card holders, which he did. Brad's craftmanship is something I have never seen. I requested a Brittish Design Mulberry Inspired by, in bag, wallet and belt. All I can say is, if you dont choose Charles Lansdown, then you are missing out... Better than him? There is none.

The superb craftsmanship (from stitching to leather quality), coupled with a wonderfully helpful customer service, will make me a repeat customer. I can't wait to see our leather acquire patina and softness, as it ages on adventures with us.

My package was delivered very quick. Nothing better than the smell of genuine leather. The quality is outstanding. I already see it will last quite some time.

Brad gave us the absolute best service from the email we sent up to receiving our son’s custom suitcase today. The most beautiful suitcase and the best quality we’ve ever seen! We absolutely love it thank you so much!!!

Their craftsmanship is just excellent. I had a handbag custom made about 9 years ago that I use every single day. The zipper packed up from daily use and when I phoned Brad he said they will replace the zipper free of charge. He is so accomodating and friendly and I highly recommend him. There is such an extensive selection bags, purses wallets and more to pick and choose from or even better have something custom made. I absolutely love my handbag.

The bags are simply exquisite. They are properly made, finished with attention to every little detail. The pockets and interior are properly lined, the shoulder straps are in leather and not fabric like most other brands. I feel embarrassed that I bought bags from brand names at 4x the price that are noticeably inferior and not made with care and passion like these ones. I am planning my next purchase now!

I have always just received amazing service from Brad and his time. My clients have always been happy with their excellent quality of products. They also go the extra mile with regards to client service as I asked them to also do a card for a client - personalised. They didn’t hesitate! I highly recommend them!
