Aspinal of London has launched a 20% discount on its Midi Mayfair handbag, allowing shoppers to save £139. Usually priced at £695, the designer accessory is now available for £556.
The bag has royal approval, as Princess Catherine has repeatedly carried the design, while Zara Tindall has also been spotted wearing it in different colours and finishes. Hollywood actress Anne Hathaway has also been seen carrying the handbag in a red colourway.
Design and Features
The black patent croc design is handcrafted from premium full-grain Italian leather with a glossy effect finish, gold-tone hardware and Aspinal's signature shield clasp. It features a structured silhouette, an elegant top handle, and a detachable chain strap for cross-body wear.
Inside, the bag has luxurious Italian grosgrain lining, a central zipped compartment, two open sections and a handy exterior pocket. The collection also offers other shades, including burgundy, navy and deep green.
Styling and Gift Potential
The black version can be paired with a camel wool coat, tailored trousers and knee-high boots for a daytime look, or with a little black dress and gold jewellery for the evening. Selected Mayfair designs can also be personalised, making the bag a potential Christmas gift.
While £556 remains an investment, the craftsmanship and versatile silhouette make it a lasting piece. For similar looks on a budget, Hobbs offers the Ophelia Leather Bag at £139, and Fairfax & Favor's Town & Country Top Handle Bag is available at £375.
