Kentucky Derby Handbag Collection - Radley London

Radley London is pleased to announce the third year of their licensee partnership with The Kentucky Derby, with a stunning new collection ahead of the new season! As an Official Licensee of The Kentucky Derby 2022, Radley London has created brand new styles for the social event of the season.

This collaborative capsule elevates the rich and historic traditions of the Kentucky Derby through the unique, modern lens of fashion. The Radley design team draws inspiration from ‘They joy of the day’ as well as the equestrian theme and the heritage of the event. The collection gives nods to nostalgia and the fun of the races with joyful hand drawn illustrations combined with craft details and a spring color palette. 

Kentucky Derby Handbag Collection

“The decision to use a more graphic, hand drawn horse was to give depth to the collection and add an element of modernism against the sketchy illustration” says Senior designer, Sally Hansen, on the inspiration behind the design.

The brand welcomes new unmissable shades including sweet pastels, energized cucumber, and a pop of mango running throughout the collection in celebration of the signature Kentucky Derby cocktail – the mint julep and giving a fresh update to occasion wear.

The collection includes various styles like a charming canteen bag, a reinvented, modern satchel bag, a classic quilted style, as well as wallets and small leather goods. Prices range from $98 - $318. The collection is available at RadleyLondon.com, Macy’s, Amazon, the Kentucky Derby online store, and pop up executions at the Churchill Downs race track during race week.
