Aspinal of London have dropped big deals in their early Black Friday sale and while I’m no princess, I’m certainly a big fan
Luxury brand Aspinal of London has launched its Black Friday sale, with discounts of up to 50% off across its entire collection. The upscale leatherware brand which has been approved by royalty, has slashed their prices ahead of the seasonal shopping event.
Previously spotted on the graceful arm of the Princess of Wales, Aspinal’s Mayfair Midi Bag is just one from a collection of beautifully crafted handbags and accessories that I am more than a little bit obsessed with. Even for a middle-aged mum like me, who is notably not a glamorous princess, the incredible craftmanship is too good to be ignored (especially in the sale).
For fan of Kate’s understated glam, the Aspinal’s Mayfair Midi Bag is now reduced by an impressive £130. Usually retailing for an eye-watering £650, the brand’s early Black Friday discount has taken its price tag down to £520 – a saving of 20%.

While I may not be royalty or an A-list celeb, I am the proud owner of not one but two Aspinal handbags. One of which is an everyday favourite that makes me feel super classy and the other is a pillow-sized vessel of warm weather perfection.
There’s something truly special about finding a bag that effortlessly balances style and function and that’s exactly why I adore my Midi London Leather Tote bag. Simple and understated, it’s become my go-to companion for when I need to leave the house.
Handcrafted from the finest full-grain leather, the semi-structured shape is subtly chic, but what I love most is its versatility.
On busy days, I carry it by the soft top handles for a polished look, but when I need to be hands-free and feeling more casual, the detachable leather strap comes to the rescue. The kind of bag that works for any occasion, it’s a much loved little piece of luxury that fits perfectly into my everyday life.
Currently on sale for £476, the Midi London has an impressive £119 off the original RRP of £595. Worth every penny in my opinion, my bag is still going strong after a solid five years of use, give or take a season or two.
Speaking of seasons, as the sun sets on miserable weather the lure of spring brings it with the need switch out my winter wardrobe for something more lightweight. As I shrug off darker colours, out comes my second favourite Aspinal bag.
Oversized and utterly delicious, my Large London Tote bag is crafted from buttery soft leather that undulates beautifully, while remaining unstructured and understated.
Having opted for the textured pebble finish in a rather lovely Ivory colour, with a contrasting navy blue lining, this bag is my absolute favourite in the warmer months. But as an avid fan of monochrome clothing, I feel it works just as well when it’s time to pull out the big coat.
Handcrafted from the finest full-grain leather, I am particularly fond of its two stitched ‘A’ panels to the sides, accented by a contrasting tan colour that looks super classy with a camel coat or throw over.
Usually available for a pricey £695, the Black Friday sale sees the price fall to £556. With £139 off of RRP, that’s an impressive saving of 20%.
The only negative thing I would say about my Aspinal bags is that while they are really well made, they are also quite heavy. If you don’t want to feel the weight of leather against your skin as you move, or the swing of the bling on the handles, these bags could feel a little cumbersome and bulky to you.
There are plenty of other chic styles reduced in the Aspinal of London Black Friday sale. Despite there still being nine days to go until the official sale event on November 29, there are huge deals to be had right now including up to 50% off purses, journals, handbags, jewellery and more.
Other fashion brands offering their Black Friday bargains ahead of November 29 include Debenhams, which has up to 70% off various categories, and Nobody’s Child – where you can get 25% off everything with the code: BF25.
