Rydale is an outdoor country clothing company in the UK. Inspired by a true passion for country lifestyle, John Nichols began a lifelong project to create the pinnacle of country and outdoor clothing with the support of his family. Since 1954, the spirit of every distinctive design has been in Quality, Reliability & Style. Now into its 3rd generation much has changed, but their families’ love for country sports and outdoor pursuits still remains as strong as ever, so does their mission to deliver excellence in both form and function.
Rydale sell a range of clothing for men, women and children. This includes hoodies, fleeces, hats and caps, knitwear and footwear.
I chose to review this ‘Emily Embroidered Hoody’ which is currently priced at £34.99 (price correct at time of publication). It’s available in a variety of different colours and is available in sizes 8-18.
I chose a size 12 in navy and it fits perfectly.
Not only is this hoody comfortable and cosy, it’s also super soft. That’s because it’s crafted from a super soft cotton blend and features classic kangaroo hand-warmer pockets. It’s has an articulated and form fitting drawstring hood which is made up of three pieces, ribbed cuffs and hem, with beautiful stitching throughout and it’s finished off with a signature leatherette Rydale badge.
I really like the embroidered pink horses which has taken an otherwise casual plain hoody and given it that country inspired look for an effortlessly stylish twist.
In addition to the hoody, I chose to review this women’s suede bucket bag which costs £65.99. It’s available in tan and navy. I opted for navy.
This chic and effortlessly stylish looking suede bag is perfectly sized for everyday essentials such as your purse, mobile phone and drink bottle. Featuring a detachable and adjustable strap that can be worn across the body, it also has a smaller circular handle so you can carry it as a tote.
The bag features two brass snaffle buckles on either side for a true equestrian feel, along with a magnetic popper which opens the main compartment where you will see a navy and white pheasant lining, two leather-trimmed pockets, a secure zipped pocket and more than enough room for accessories.
The leather is soft and I feel that this bag has a real vintage feel to it. It’s deceptively large and a must have bag for busy, on the go women. Whether it’s for work or a day out with the kids, it’s the perfect accessory.
Both the hoody and bag from Rydale are durable, well made and great value for money.
