RUDE launch the most innovative bags of the decade for men and women!
The Holster and The Gilet set the stage alight at the Professionals Black Tie Fashion Show Ball at The Royal Armouries. Tuxedo cladded models opened the show by strutting their stuff on the catwalk to reveal under their jackets The Holster; the sexiest, high quality leather and ultra secure way for everyone to carry around their essentials. Wolf-whistles echoed around the ballroom as all the models showed the crowd just how effective and versatile The Holster and The Gilet could be, whether for business, travel, clubbing or pleasure.

Celebrity 80’s pop icon Steve Strange attended the event sporting his new Vintage Brown Crocodile Holster alongside RUDE Founder and Managing Director, Sarah Shafi. Sarah commented “ The show was absolutely fantastic and the models did such a great job. The attention and reaction to these products was very exciting and we are hoping to see these in some top end stores very soon”. Steve Strange added “This Holster is the most cleverly designed bag I have ever had and I just feel so sexy wearing it. The leather is to die for and men and women everywhere should own one”. The event was organised by Lisa Crampton and Eventium and helped raise over £250K in aid of Breast Cancer.
