A Gladstone bag is named after William Ewart Gladstone, the famous four-time Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. A London leather dealer and maker named J G Beard designed the bag in the mid-19th Century and named it after Gladstone because he was a massive admirer of the politician. Gladstone was a frequent traveller who often used this specific style of stiff leather, hinged-frame luggage to carry his documents. Because the Prime Minister used it, the bag quickly became a symbol of Victorian elegance, reliability and British refinement.

A good bag at a fair price.
