Quadra offers an innovative and vast collection based on the needs of all those functional fiends from the tech-savvy traveller to the connected commuter. With millennial focused IT Bags and accessories continuing to dominate the hottest women’s products from online fashion search engine Lyst. Quadra, a trusted 4Couture staple over the last 18 years, could not be more relevant, as they celebrate 25 years of operation.

The years may have gone by, with an evolving repertoire of branded bags focusing on contemporary silhouettes, material ingenuity and elite craftmanship. Quadra have cemented themselves as an industry leader, yet retained a central mission, which runs through the DNA of operations in a promise of trading ethically and strengthening a long term commitment to protecting the planet.

2020 placed a pause on consumption as we knew it, providing a consumer re-awakening. Businesses are reacting and responding to the demands of their consumer with a recent HSBC’s ‘Made For The Future’ report revealing that half of UK companies are planning to increase their environment-related spending by summer 2021 and 96% of businesses feeling an increased pressure to be sustainable, it can be a challenge to find brands which align with a new green ethos and still deliver on product range.

Making an ethical choice should not mean a compromise in style and Quadra continues to understand the requirements of a conscious brand operating in the 21st century. From product diversity to the expansion of the organic product range, alongside the pre-existing Fairtrade collection and new recycled polyester fabric featured in the new collection, Quadra proves that a conscious choice can be both environmentally responsible and stylish and neither you nor the environment have to concede.

Lisa Morelli, 4Couture Director highlights the reliability of the brand, noting “we use these guys and their products all the time as Quadra are genuinely excellent quality and if a company comes to us, looking for a branded bag, then we know there will be something in the Quadra range to fit the bill.
One of the many selling points of Quadra is their commitment to producing designs which are optimised for rebranding. Ideal for your last minute staff give-aways, a uniform must have or finishing touch to your team’s trade show regalia. “

Here at 4Couture we are proud to have fostered an 18 year relationship with Quadra, which means we are uniquely placed to recommend the product that is right for you, from the silhouette right down to the designs best to embroider.
