About Us

Purdie Oak? Here’s where the name came from.

Well, Purdie was the name of our first gorgeous Gordon Setter & the name Oakley came about from a large Oak tree that Purdie enjoyed sitting under on hot summer day’s. Sadly, she is no longer with us but her name is still around in the name of our business, Purdie Oak.

Purdie Oak was set up over 15 years ago by Peter & Christine Gainsley after careers in Sales & Marketing for major PLC companies over a 20 year period, trading with a number of concessions in major department  stores and shopping villages for luggage, handbags, purses, and wallets in the North and Midlands. .

Now we have our own shop and 3 concessions in the North of England (details to be found on this website). We both are enjoying life in the retail environment and have a large pool of customers coming to the shop and have had lots of request from visitors to the store for a website.

We are specialists in small leather items, purses, wallets for men & women, luggage, handbags, and a major stockists of Edge Sculptures and other giftware brands. Only a limited amount will be online this year as this is a new and exciting part of expanding the business and we want to make sure we get it right!
