Description

The Gladstone bag has been the pioneer of the Mackenzie collection since we opened our doors in 1990. Sometimes known as a doctor’s or physician’s bag, our original design has been perfected over time.

Named after Prime Minister William Gladstone, these hinged holdalls accompanied him on many oversees trips, and became synonymous with British class and refinery.

Perfectly sized and roomy inside, the Gladstonette is made from the finest Italian & Spanish hide leather that gains character over time, giving it a beautifully distinctive worn charm.

All our bags and briefcases come with a Mackenzie Leather branded dust bag to protect it while you’re not using it.

    I love my gladstonette! After discovering Mackenzie Leather in Edinburgh I ordered on line after returning to Australia. The process was easy, with expert guidance from Simon every step of the way. The shape is classic and it is absolutely beautifully made with lovely detail. It’s my “go to” bag. I am excitedly waiting for my next Mackenzie bags to arrive!

    I had set my eyes on this bag for the last two years. My husband recently bought it for me in 🌶 colour. The quality and craftsmanship of the bag is extraordinary! It really looks like a dream come true! Also Simon made the whole purchase process a fantastic experience for us. I truly couldn’t be happier! My very best wishes to Mackenzie Leather and it’s amazing team.

    I LOVE this bag! I visited the store in 2019 and couldn’t stop thinking about it. It’s even more beautiful than I remembered! The details are exquisite. Working with Simon gave me confidence in the choices I made for leather and hardware. The size of the bag is perfect. And every time I open it I get a nice surprise due to the interior being pink. Again, I LOVE this bag. Thank you!

    I absolutely adore my new Gladstonette. Simon made my visit to the shop extra special by showing us the workshop. The love and craftsmanship he and his team put into each and every creation is a joy to behold. It is like stepping back in time to see how it is all done. I went for the large size and it will fit absolutely everything I will ever need into it, without looking bulky. I just can’t wait to pop back and order my next Mackenzie bag.
    A huge big thank-you – it will be loved for many years to come!

    My Gladstonette came today and exceeded my expectation my miles (or Kilometer if you’d like)! The leather and suede interior chosen make my bag truly one of a kind – the initials help too. I would 100% purchase another bag should I find myself in Edinburgh again. Thank you all for the experience and the outstanding outcome!

    I just received my thistle pink Gladstonette handbag, trimmed in navy blue and lined in navy blue. It is stunning! I visited Mackenzie Leather in June 2023 and met Simon and the rest of his team/artists. Simon helped me design this bespoke handbag and am thrilled with the final piece. These bags will last for generations and are meant to be USED, not to just sit on your closet shelf to be displayed. Mackenzie Leather products are made with superior leather, accessories, and are stitched to last. If you love leather, do yourself a favor and stop into Mackenzie Leather during your next trip to Edinburgh.
