Radley is one of Britain’s most recognisable fashion brands, loved for its joyful colours, playful details and timeless style. While many people first discover Radley through its handbags, the brand’s watches have become just as popular — especially as stylish, affordable gifts.
As an authorised stockist, we’ve been selling Radley ladies’ watches for several years and they remain a firm favourite with our customers. If you’re wondering whether a Radley watch is right for you (or for someone special), here’s a closer look at the brand, its design style, and what makes Radley watches so appealing.
A British Brand with a Creative Heart
Radley was founded in London in 1998 by entrepreneur Lowell Harder. Starting out with a small stall in Camden Market, she spotted a gap in the market for colourful, personality-filled accessories at a time when most designs were limited to black, tan or brown.
That spirit of creativity still defines Radley today. The brand is proudly British and continues to focus on designs that feel cheerful, feminine and easy to wear — without being overly trendy.
The Iconic Scottie Dog
One of the things that makes Radley instantly recognisable is its much-loved Scottish Terrier logo. The Scottie dog was chosen to represent the brand’s playful, friendly personality and has since become a design icon in its own right.
You’ll often find the Scottie dog subtly featured on Radley watch dials, cases or straps — a small detail that fans of the brand really love.
