Why is it that so many sellers on ebay list RADLEY bags as 'Limited Editions' when they are not?

RADLEY have actually only produced three Limited Edition bags to date which are as follows:

COTTAGE - 500 produced Christmas 2004

WALK IN THE WOODS - 250 produced Autumn/Winter 2007

TRULY RADLEY DEEPLY - 500 produced 1st May 2008

These three bags all have serial numbers and come with registration cards which when you return them to RADLEY they send you a Certificate of Authenticity that bears the bag's Limited Edition number.

**********

Despite what many seem to believe, RADLEY 'Signature' bags are NOT Limited Editions even though they have become highly desirable by collectors of late.

Signature bags are produced in their thousands with a new design being released usually twice per year - Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter.

'Limited' means that only a certain number of a particular design was produced.

Further information on RADLEY 'Signature' bags and 'Limited Edition' designs can be found in my other guides.

I hope this clears up some of the confusion with these bags as it appears that many sellers are declaring their bags 'Limited Editions' in their auction descriptions which is misleading potential bidders and actually an infringement of ebay's selling policies (ie stating false/incorrect information within the description).
