Launer London is a British manufacturer of luxury handbags and other small leather goods founded in 1940 by Sam Launer, who emigrated to London from Czechoslovakia during the Second World War.

[1] In 2011, Launer started producing bags in colours other than their traditional black, brown, and navy.

[2] The Traviata is Launer's bestselling design, partly due to the influence of The Queen;[2] it is handmade in Walsall in the West Midlands, and sold for about £1,800 in 2019.

[4][6] Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher regularly carried a Launer handbag, which was remarked upon as a characteristic.

Gerald Bodmer first sent her one after seeing a cartoon of Thatcher whacking Argentina with her bag at the time of the Falklands War.
