Pom Pom London vs Radley: Two British Leather Bag Brands Compared

A fair comparison for anyone choosing between the two. Radley details are taken from their website and were last checked in October 2026; please check their site for current ranges and prices.

The short version

Radley is a long-established British handbag house with a wide range of leather and non-leather bags, a recognisable Scottie dog motif and high-street and department-store distribution. Pom Pom London is a smaller British brand that does one thing: full-grain leather crossbody bags with interchangeable straps, sold mostly direct. If you want a well-known name and a very broad range, Radley has it. If you want a lighter, simpler leather crossbody at a lower price with straps included and a year's warranty, that is us.

Who each suits

Radley suits someone who wants the breadth of a big label: totes, work bags, purses and the signature dog, and the reassurance of a name everyone knows. Pom Pom London suits someone who wants one very good leather crossbody that can look different every week by changing the strap, at a price that leaves room for a second colour.
