    This is a blast from the past.... well the purse has lasted the test of time so far, still almost as strong as the first day :)

    Not sure where you got that from,

    In 2002, The founder Lowell Harder led a buyout of Tula, and renamed the co. Radley, but kept on the Tula and Hidesign brands.
    A waist is a terrible thing to mind.

    I've tagged my query on to this thread and hopefully some of the Radley experts will pick it up. Have been buying some Radley bags from ebay and the one I got this weekend did not feel right. I have been looking at how to tell copies but still not sure. Can anyone tell me, is the name Radley on the dog tag on the front and the back? And is the leather two pieces glued together?
    Due to my reading up on Radley I now realise one of my other e bay Radley purchases is likely to be fake - the lining is black nylonish material - and I left good feedback on the seller. They must think I'm a right numpty!
