My Story

About Radka Sillerova – Where Passion Meets Purpose in Leather Design 🧵✨

Hi, I’m Radka – designer, maker, and founder of Radka Sillerova Atelier. My journey started with a needle in hand, creating clothes and accessories for myself and my children. Creativity, color, and craftsmanship have always been part of my world. 💛

In 1991, I opened my own wellness studio in Prague, which I successfully ran for 10 years. Later, I worked as a Non-Food Buyer for a German retail chain, where I gained valuable experience in product development and sourcing. 🛍️

How It All Began – A Personal Need Became a Passion 🎒

After moving to Germany in 2005, I often explored the city by bike. I wanted a backpack that was both beautiful and practical—but I couldn’t find the right one. So, I designed my own: a leather backpack that was colorful, comfortable, and made with care. That’s how my first bag was born. 🌈💡

At Radka Sillerova Atelier, every piece is made with love. We work with high-quality Italian leather, sourced responsibly, and handcraft each item in our family atelier in Prague. Our designs follow the principles of slow fashion—thoughtful, durable, and created in small collections. 👜♻️

From a Local Dream to an International Atelier 🌍

What began as a personal idea soon turned into a real business. In 2015, I officially founded my brand and began offering handmade leather backpacks and accessories to my local community. Over time, my designs gained attention and reached customers across Europe, North America, and Japan. 📦💌

My first well-known customers included Kim Kiyosaki and Hollywood star Charlie Sheen. As the interest in my bags grew, I expanded the collection to include laptop bags, wallets, belts, and other accessories. 💼👛

Fashion Shows & Creative Highlights 💃🧵

In 2018, I presented my designs at Fashion Week in Liverpool and Manchester. A few years later, one of my biggest dreams came true—showing my collection at International Fashion Week in Paris in 2022. I returned to Liverpool later that year, followed by Fashion Week in London in 2023.

In the same year, I also took part in the International Apparel and Fashion Fair in Dubai, where I introduced my bags and accessories to a wider creative audience. 🌟📸

Rooted in Responsibility – Our Sustainable Values 🌿

Sustainability is at the core of our work. I personally choose premium Italian leather from verified, ethical suppliers. All of our products are handmade in our small family workshop in Prague by skilled artisans who care deeply about quality and detail. 🧵🇨🇿

We use local materials whenever possible and produce in small batches to avoid waste. Our approach is slow, thoughtful, and focused on creating timeless pieces that last and bring joy for years to come. 🍃✨

Inspired by Life, Designed for You 🏞️❤️

My love for travel, movement, and nature inspires every bag I design. Whether I’m hiking in the mountains, running a marathon, or cycling through the city, I find new ideas everywhere. 🏃‍♀️🚴‍♀️⛰️

Each piece from my atelier is made to reflect freedom, color, and individuality—for people who appreciate authenticity, beauty, and high-quality craftsmanship.

🌿 Sustainably made, designed with love, and full of character—because your bag should be as unique as you are. 🎨👜
